Whoops, my mistake, it is as a .a in -dev and not at all in
xlibmesa3-dri.

I'll probably stop building them before I put things up.

Sounds reasonable.

Ugh, I was hoping to avoid most of that as the dri xserver package
depends on yours. (See below.)

Actually it is a subset, providing only what is used by the DRI code and
leaving the rest to your packages, otherwise I would simply conflict
with xserver-xfree86.
The reason is two fold, the first is that it is roughly what the DRI
project is providing in other forms.
The second is that the DRI cvs tree does not include everything that the
X cvs tree does, trying to provide a superset would be quite a bit more
work all around.
