Suggestion for libgl1-mesa-dri package
Hi,
I was installing a Debian system from scratch and there is something at libgl1-mesa-dri package that may not be following the "xorg-driver-video-.." packages.
When installing xserver-xorg package the xserver-xorg-video is obviously required. And xserver-xorg-video gives us the option to use xserver-xorg-video-all (default) or a virtual package like a reference to a specific package like xserver-xorg-video-ati or xserver-xorg-video-intel. It is very good as I can install just Intel or ATI stuffs...
So when I look to libgl1-mesa-dri I think it could provide a similar behavior, currently it has Intel, Nvidia and AMD drm libs in just one package (http://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgl1-mesa-dri) but maybe a virtual package could be provided with the specifics libdrms.
In this way I dont need to "apt-get update" the libgl1-mesa-dri dua a libdrm-nouveau2 bug when I have just Intel onboard video.
thx,
Saulo A. Moraes
