Okay, If I read this correctly, this means that if I upgrade libegl-mesa0 to 19.3.1-4 or newer, then apt will prevent this type of mismatch from happening again (by preventing me from installing, for example, libgl1-mesa-dri 19.8.65 without upgrading libgbm1 to a matching version).
However, I don't think this will solve the problem (which may not occur very often, granted) of apt allowing you to install newer versions of libgl1-mesa-dri with libegl1-mesa < 19.3 and libgbm1 < 19.3.
