 The bug is actually libgl1-mesa-directfb-dev providing libgl-dev.

 libgl-dev should provide these files (because I say so) since the GLX
 binding is the most common one (probably the expected one) in Unix.

 In fact the GL spec for Linux calls for GLX.

 If you need an specific target you must build-depend on it (like
 libgl1-mesa-directfb-dev or libgl1-mesa-glide3-dev).  You can't just
 depend on libgl-dev.
