Why not have the new package ship libGL.so.1 to a more specific filename and create a symlink named libGL.so.1 by hand in its postinst ? That way you can defer doing the diversion until that part of the postinst, by which time the old package and its diversion are gone. IWBNI dpkg handled diversions much more internally than it does, but it's a complicated problem.
