I  have  packaged   drm-snapshot  which  creates  libdrm2,  libdrm2-dev,
libdrm2-dbg  and nouveau-kernel-source.  I am  now looking  at packaging
mesa. Unfortunately, nouveau  development is not done in  7.0 branch, it
is not even  done in the same repository. This  means another new source
package.

Maybe, I should rename binary package  to state that they should be used
only  with   nouveau.   I  mean,   if  someone  installs   libdrm2  from
experimental, it will break every  X video driver, except nouveau. Those
packages will provide, replace and conflict with the original packages.

Thanks.
