No. Here are the DMA messages I got:
(II) MGA(0): [drm] Registers = 0xe4000000
[drm] drmAgpEnabled succeeded
(II) MGA(0): WARP Microcode Loaded
(II) MGA(0): [drm] calced backoffset: 0x22f000

(II) MGA(0): visual configs initialized
(II) MGA(0): Using 128 lines for offscreen memory.
(II) MGA(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
This issue is mostly moot anyway. My main point in trying XFree86
4.0.x with the G200 was to smooth the transition when I move my hard
disks to my new system which has a GeForce2/MX.

I just copied libGLU from mesag3 to /usr/local/lib.

Debian-specifici was probably a poor choice of words. My intent was
that the change was not in the plain 4.0.1 upstream version.

Sorry about that. I read your mini-FAQ when it was sent, but I didn't
understand the issue and I also didn't think I was using anything that
needed libGLU either so I didn't worry about it.
Anyway, have you considered using a dpkg-diversion? xlibmesa3 could
divert any existing libGL out of the way but leave libGLU in place.
