that is your experience, please don't make generalizations based on
that alone.
That said, the LSB (see? I can type, I can type!) doesn't specify
glXGetProcAddressARB as a "valid" (sanctioned, whatever) function to
use, which is *bad*.
What some people seem to be missing here is that the LSB says a package
might depend only on the lsb package. Presumably this lsb package
depends on all the stuff that makes the system LSB conformant. On
Debian this is something like xlibs, libc6, xlibmesa3 | libgl1, zlib1g,
libncurses5. The xlibs one might be overkill, the LSB calls for
X11R6.4 and some extensions.
