You're welcome.  However, in retrospect, this is actually a non-bug
per recent discussion on debian-devel -- it seems that because
libGLU's use of libstdc++ is entirely internal, it is safe for
libglu1-xorg to go back to providing libglu1 after all (though it will
probably continue to provide libglu1c2 for at least a little while for
the sake of early adopters).  The discussion's in the thread starting
with

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/07/msg00805.html

though the relevant messages don't seem to have made it up yet.

Anyway, my recommendation at this point would be to change
libglu1-mesa-dev to libglu1-xorg-dev, but not to bother
build-depending directly on the shared library.

Thanks, and apologies for sending this before catching up with
relevant list traffic.
