Subject: GLU vs accelerated GL conflicts (XF4.0.1 package problem)

There currently exists a functional conflict between libmesag3 (the
"standard" Mesa distribution for debian) and xlibmesa3 (as included with
your XF4 packages). While xlibmesa3 is necessary to use accelerated
rendering, the majority of OpenGL applications require the prescence of
libGLU. Unfortunately since libmesag3 and xlibmesa3 are marked as
conflicting, I must hand patch every time I do an apt-get (which isn't
bad, but not quite preferable). One solution would be to provide a
seperate xlibglu package, or something of that nature for people who
wish to have them seperate in order to have both.
