Now you've completely lost me. Bug #187365 is "xlibmesa3-glu: libraries not correctly linked". I'm saying that as long as libutahglx1 provides a file called "libGL.so.1", and libutahglx-dev provides a file called "libGL.so", the xlibmesa-gl and xlibmesa-gl-dev packages with have to Conflict/Replace their Utah GLX counterparts. Even if Utah GLX isn't compliant with the OpenGL ABI and thus should stop providing the "libgl1" and "libgl-dev" virtual packages, I presume they'd still ship *files* with the same names. -- G.
