Hey,

After investigating a launchpad bug where libgl1-mesa-dri is no longer installed I came to the conclusion that libgl1-mesa-glx is pretty useless without libgl1-mesa-dri.

Testcase:

# dpkg -r libgl1-mesa-dri
# Xorg &
# DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Should we add a hard dependency on libgl1-mesa-dri to libgl1-mesa-glx and libegl1-mesa in 10.3?

The current Recommends seems about right to me.

Yes, libgl1-mesa-glx can be used without libgl1-mesa-dri for GLX indirect rendering on a remote X11 display.
