I don't think GLw is supposed to be available as a shared object.

Do you have any feedback for Marcelo Magallon, who, IIRC claims you don't
need to provide versions of these?

Okay, great.

One tweak. I think the package names should be exactly as my X package
names, with "-dri" appended. Even for the -dev packages.
So, e.g., xlibmesa-dev-dri.
Also, for the sake of sheer symmetry I don't see why you can't use the
pathnames XFree86-dri and modules-dri.

Actually, it probably isn't. You need to do something akin to a
global-search and replace in debconf template names in the templates,
config, and other maintainer scripts, replacing "xserver-xfree86" with
"xserver-xfree86-dri".
Also, you need to be sure that all references to "/usr/.../XFree86" in
these files change to "XFree86-dri".

Yes, let's do that. Otherwise I have to hack dexconf. You can use my
message() shell function in the postinst to tell the user to do this.

Are you sure both are needed? Your xserver-xfree86-dri package should
provide a superset of the modules that my xserver-xfree86 package does.
