Re: Bug#255595: lintian: Please add libgl-dev and libglu-dev as known virtual packages

I'm not sure we should. Policy 3.6 tells people that only virtual
packages agreed upon should be used and those 2 are not listed on
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt.

OTOH, many packages are using those 2 packages, so a check may spot some
problems:
he@Asfaloth:~$ grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends libgl-dev -s Package /var/lib/apt/lists/*sid*Sources | wc -l
73
he@Asfaloth:~$ grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends libglu-dev -s Package /var/lib/apt/lists/*sid*Sources | wc -l
31

What do you think?
