As you know, xfce-tips does not work unless fortune is installed.
So somebody needs to 
(a) fix tips so that it works without  fortune , or 
(b) add the  fortune  requirement to the package, which makes no sense for 
xfce-eyes or other (future) toys, or 
(c) remove it from the release until it is fixed to work without fortune.

I do not know of any other choices(there may be some but I do not know of
any). 
XFce certainly does not want to release a package that has an item that does
not work. 
If  xfce-toys  is split up, or, at least, xfce-tips is made a separate
package, one can add the  fortune  requirement without affecting the other
programs.

Something needs to be done for "tips" before the release...
