apt-cache showpkg libgl1, see the Reverse Provides .

apt-cache showpkg libgl-dev :)
Build-Depend on something like xlibmesa-gl-dev | libgl-dev .
BTW, xlibmesa3 is old; if you aren't running sid, you should use
something like pbuilder with a sid chroot to build packages for upload.
That will also help verify that the build dependencies are correct.
