xlibmesa* needs to be renamed. The renaming only knows a few
patterns besides lib* that it renames. Anyway, xlibmesa-gl replaces
xlibmesa3-gl under sarge from what i see and that is a real package.

If it doesn't install then you are just missing some packages
usualy. There could be some sideeffects of conflicts/provides/replaces
combination at work though. libgl1 does have a few of those and I
guess a simple 32bit package of it would depend and conflcit with the
amd64 package without special treatment.
