Bug#860482: Missing dependencies for *xinit* and *dbus-x11* used in systemd service unit

Package: kodi
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


The systemd service unit file `/lib/systemd/system/kodi.service`
currently needs the binaries `/usr/bin/xinit` and `/usr/bin/dbus-
launch` [1].

```
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/kodi-standalone -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt7
```

Both executables are currently not present as the packages providing
these files – *xinit* and *dbus-x11* – are not dependencies.

As the service file is disabled by default, I am unsure what rule
applies here. I’d prefer a dependency over a recommendation. Currently,
the installed size of *xinit* is 80 kB, and of *dbus-x11* 140 kB.

Also, I am unsure about the correct severity of this issue. Therefore,
I am leaving it at the default, which is *normal*.


Thanks,

Paul
