Bug#385575: libgl1-mesa-dri: Is it possible to split up the package into hardware-specific binaries?

[Gerrit Jan Baarda]

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 6.5.0.cvs.20060524-1
Severity: wishlist


The libgl1-mesa-dri i/ckages nstalls > 30Mb of files on my system of 
which > 90% will never be used ( I only have a i915 card). My guess is 
this is true for most other systems.

Is it possible to package it more or less like the
xserver-xorg-video-* packages, so that only the modules that are
actually used need to be installed?

Yours,
Gerrit Jan.
