That libglu1-mesa 7.4 became available on alpha only very recently, and
the buildd machine did not have it available at the time it was tried.

I’ve done the appropriate actions so that cgal will be built when the
required version of libglu1-mesa is available.

You could use http://chistera.yi.org/~adeodato/blog/106_fakeapt.html,
but normally you can get away with mailing debian-wb-team@lists.debian.org,
where there are people who will be able to spot the problem rather
quick.
