[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well

libxcvt0 is split from xorg-server so that xwayland can also use it.
'xcvt' is not needed in main.

The library is tiny, has had in total of 21 commits over the years in
xorg-server git tree before the split. Keep this in mind before
requiring automated tests.
