Well, the latter is in sid, that's the origin of the problem at hand.

FWIW, that might be a good idea until the Mesa and xserver builds have
been completely decoupled. Then again, is anything else using
mesa-swrast-source at all? If not, the files could just be included in
the xserver tarball?

Mesa 6.5 is a development release with known problems. Should that be
allowed to migrate to testing? It's my impression that the semantics you
seem to attribute to sid have mostly shifted to experimental and that
sid is mostly considered a staging area for testing now.
