Yes, you are.

It's possible to have X clients that *don't* depend on the X server
being present.  If you run X clients on remote machines with the local
machine being the X server, it makes perfect sense for the client to
depend on libX11 and its friends, but not on Xorg.

Granted, it's not going to be a typical user--but I like to think that
Lunar isn't FOR typical users.  Ubuntu already exists, after all.
