Lots of good questions... not sure I can give a good answer for all of
them, might want to ask mesa3d-dev as well.
I think the softpipe/xlib libGL could be an alternative for
libgl1-mesa-swx11 (and maybe cell/xlib for the PS3, though I'm not sure
everything needed to build that is available in Debian at this time).
i915simple/drm/intel could be an alternative for i915_dri.so from
libgl1-mesa-dri, but note that I think it only supports i9[14]5 3D
cores. OTOH r300/drm/radeon probably doesn't make sense yet for various
reasons.
There's also the nouveau DRI drivers...
Maybe some EGL stuff could be useful as well, but I don't really know
much about that.
These are some of the possibilities from an upstream POV... not sure how
best to translate them into Debian packaging.
