I did this upgrade today on a non-desktop, and was very unpleasantly surprised. Did we really mean to suck this many dependencies onto machines that aren't even running X11, let alone 3D graphics and such? Cairo is used by several packages for font-rendering (rrdtool here pulls this in on this box), and now the dependencies have ballooned by ~130 MB.
I also had a plus of around 180 MiB (including lib32-mesa) on a standard desktop running X11, 3D, games and the like, so this does not only concern non-X11 systems.
