So, would you reconsider if a patch was to be provided?

The size issue would be one reason, other reasons would be being able
to switch the libglide3 Suggests into a Depends (but I can understand
how you might not find this really important :), not requiring libdrm
backends for drivers one does not use, and being able to Recommend a
dri specific driver from the xorg video driver.
