I am not sure what is in the X-user but:

1) consider that a web server being a server, you may need no X at all.

2) if you don't install the source of X now, next time there will be
   the slightest update needed on X, you will probably have to
   download all the sources instead of downloading only the one that
   changed.

I find it a good idea to always have the source, because sooner or
later (and rather sooner than later) I will have to reconstruct
everything and I will then need the sources.
