 Ah, good points.

 I was trying to be cautious since I don't really understand which parts
 of Mesa are needed for the X bits build.  My guess is the rasterizer.

 My reason for nuking the list is that a) debian/changelog (or any other
 file for that matter) doesn't actually list criteria to include or
 exclude files from this package; b) file names and or locations have
 changed in 6.5 (wrt 6.4) and I rather ship too many files instead of
 too few.

 I just cut the list by some 500+ files (by removing the hardware DRI
 drivers).

 Thanks!

 Marcelo
