Ok, no problem.  I was merely surprised to find an upload without any
mention in the bug report about the intention, and I had not had any coffee.

Please both accept my apologies.  I'll make sure to do that in the
future.

Nothing I say trumps the requirement to inform maintainers about the changes
you're making to their packages and to make certain for yourself that the
NMU is warranted and correct.  Please read this as implicit in any
suggestions I make regarding NMU candidates.

In this case, there will be a need to update the build-dependencies of
freeglut shortly; there are no ABI transitions taking place for libGLU
(though it was reasonable for Jamie to wait, in light of the confusion
surrounding this question), but the xlibmesa-glu-dev package *is* going away
once the xfree86 source package is phased out in favor of xorg-x11, and
packages will need to build-depend on libglu1-xorg-dev instead.

The net impact is relatively minor, but IMHO it would have been better to
wait for libglu1-xorg-dev to be available on all architectures, and address
both issues at once.  In that case, it seems you could have simply let Jamie
do the upload himself. :)  Sorry for not being more clear.

The direct dependencies have not changed, so there should be no problems.
AFAICT, xlibmesa-gl, xlibmesa-glu and libglut3 have no external ABI
changes.

xlibmesa-gl is still the old version on arm,m68k,mips,mipsel,sparc, so
may not currently build on those platforms (I'm afraid I didn't spot
that), but they should just be put into dep-wait for a few days.  Since
it's now built on 7/9 arches, this doesn't appear to be problematic.

This package was one of a list of packages I was asked to fix by the
RM.  0-day NMUs are also OK for GCC 4.0 FTBFS bugs, apparently.

I do normally contact people, but due to the above, and the lack of
any response to the original bug report, I did not.  If you had put
a note on the bug report to let people know that you were taking
care of it, I would have left it.  As it was, it looked like just
another of the ~400 etch RC FTBFS bugs which had not been fixed by
their (MIA) maintainer.

I was holding off an upload because of the libGLU c++ transition.  Did you
take that into account?

Also, last I checked, contacting the maintainer was a required step in an
NMU.  When were you planning on letting me know your intentions?
