I know. I never do it except when I need it. Remains that mesa 7.9 is there.
FYI libva1 + intel VAAPI driver + vlc using hardware acceleration via VAAPI is a no go as I hit a known assert in libva.
BTW: apparently the experimental X11 pre 7.6 and the intel driver are not compatible wich may be another reason to build from source if you want hardware acceleration with Intel drivers:
apt-get -s -t experimental install xserver-xorg-core ... the following packages will be REMOVED :xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-input-wacom xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nv xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
