I also find OpenGL header packages somewhat bewildering as far as the
Build-Depends go. For R's (small but very impressive) add-on rgl (Debian
binary package r-cran-rgl) I now use this in the Build-Depends.
xlibmesa-gl-dev | libgl1-dev, xlibmesa-glu-dev | libglu1-dev
after the most recent improvement. But then the bug report asked me to make
that libgl1-dev + libglu1-dev --- which apt-cache search doesn't find where
the older libgl-dev + libglu-dev are found. Maybe I will have to revert
that...
In any event, OpenGL does use virtual packages and the above gives you a real
defaulting to a virtual as is common.
Hope this helps, Dirk
