Bug#389283: The Debian diff to apply to the mesa 6.5.1 sources contains dead code. The dri_client code should be removed

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 6.5.1-1
Severity: important

This code is dead. Mesa upstream removed this a long time ago. I believe dri_client is now the libdrm library 
which we should be using. I have built Mesa without the patch and it works fine. 
Please consider removing this dead code.

Note: The Mesa im using is that build using the Mesa 6.5.0 debian/* files.
