Vincent,
There might be merits of following the Ubuntu + Debian route _today_.

Hi,
what's the current state on this? There was a Bumblebee release today
which no longer depends on VirtualGL, so libjpeg-turbo is not at all a
blocker anymore.
Please let me know if I can help, and how :)
Kind regards,
