Hmm, my x86 system (running sid) has a libGL.so symlink belonging to the
nvidia-glx package.  Not sure why yours doesn't.  I do have
libgl1-mesa-dev installed too, which nvidia-glx then appears to have
diverted out of the way.  Without nvidia-glx-dev and/or libgl1-mesa-dev
you won't have a libGL.so of course since it only applies to development
in general.  Any actual application should be using libGL.so.1
