Adam Heath and Jeff Licquia helped me come up with it. :) xvfb-run was originally written to tackle the problem that python-opengl wouldn't autobuild, for the exact reasons you're encountering. So you might want to take a look at the current version of python-opengl for tips on how to accomplish what you want. There are essentially two steps: 1) update debian/rules to use xvfb-run 2) update the Build-Depends -- G.
