Yeah, this is a known bug I kept forgetting to fix completely by accident.
Fortunately, the 7.0 packages don't suffer from this problem as their
xlibmesa* packages are all just empty transitional packages. Those will be
uploaded in due time (like within a week if all goes according to my
nefarious plans) so this should cease to be an issue.

Done, and please don't submit it. It's already there and, as I said,
essentially obsolete.

Yeah, Erinn Clark wanted to gut me for that one, but again, since the
packages are going away it's a non-issue.
