That's correct. Only few packages actually depend on xorg-server
(blackbox, enter, grass, hacburn, lwm, nvidia-utils, perl-x11-protocol,
windowlab and xkbsel). As a workaround you can either mark xorg-server
as installed explicitly by uninstalling/reinstalling the package or by
using `pacman -D --asexplicit` (the latter only works with
pacman>=3.4.0) or create a meta package with xorg-server as dependency.
