mesa-common-dev creates /usr/include/GL with the correct permissions:
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2008-04-11 08:30 ./usr/include/GL/

$ ls -la /usr/include/GL
total 796
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root   4096 2008-04-12 05:23 .
drwxr-xr-x 204 root root  16384 2008-04-24 04:58 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   5028 2007-11-16 15:36 freeglut_ext.h

This would appear to be a problem only on your own system.

I would suggest that this bug should be closed, it certainly does not
appear to be a "general" bug because only one package creates that
directory and that package is creating it correctly AFAICT.

$ umask
0022

# umask
0022

0077 is not the default umask for a user or for root and I suspect that
this is the cause of your problem.

If this is the case, this bug needs to be closed and you need to reset
the current umask for the root user.
