I can confirm this. The prboom-game-server binary is linked against 
libSDL_net-1.2, which in turn is linked against libSDL-1.2. The latter 
will pull in libX11 and the sound output libraries, anyway.

So, the only direct dependencies that would be saved by a dedicated 
prboom-server package would be "libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglu1-mesa 
| libglu1, libpng12-0, libsdl-mixer1.2". I am not sure if this is a 
real win.
