Yes, they'll conflict with each other.
However, building against libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev and running against
another GL implementation shouldn't be a problem (unless the build
process is very broken and checks for stuff that really needs to be
checked at runtime, maybe), see below.

There's no such thing. X.Org upstream no longer ships its own GL stuff
except for the GLX protocol headers, so this will all come from Mesa in
the future.

Looks like it's only the static library in libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev ATM; if
it needs to be a shared library, it should probably be moved into its
own set of packages.
