This is intended.

To do otherwise would lead to an incorrect, circular dependency.  xinit
depends on xorg-server (as you must have a server to start for it to be
useful), but xorg-server does not depend on xinit (as you could start it some
other way, e.g. from the command line)

I guess it would be nice if we had an 'X' virtual package which just depended
on xinit for people who don't read documentation...
