Bug#609299: 2:2.13.903-1 requires experimental libdrm, but depends allows sid libdrm

This could just be that latest -intel assumes some stuff which isn't
OK with “older” kernels. And that might be fixed in “newer” libdrm. An
example of a possible such fix:
| $ git show 49447a9b957047db2549b8a929e763bbd87808ba

|     intel: initialize bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec unconditionally
|     
|     If bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec is not set, drm_intel_bo_mrb_exec returns ENODEV
|     even though drm_intel_gem_bo_mrb_exec2 will work fine for the RENDER ring.
|     Fixes xf86-video-intel after commit 'add BLT ring support' (5bed685f76)
|     with kernels without BSD or BLT ring support (2.6.34 and before).

So it doesn't strictly need a newer libdrm (in the shared object
sense), it just needs a bugfix which is included in a newer version
(or a newer kernel, if that fix is indeed the one you'd need to fix
your issue).
