Dan,
I think we should follow Debian's lead here. They are in the process
of depreciating out their libglut3 package in favor of freeglut. They have
replaced their old libglut3 package, based on the old non-free version, with
a dummy package that depends on freeglut as a transitional mechanism. It
appears they aren't worrying that much about binary compatibility since
they are making sure all the packages that use glut are revised to build
against the new freeglut package (explicitly or through the dummy package).
Since we will get the same clean break with our 10.4 release, I think we
should take the opportunity to do the same.
+glut (3.7-25) unstable; urgency=low

+glut (3.7-24) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ * GLUT is replaced by freeglut, packages are now just dummies that
+ depend on freeglut libraries.
+ + removed provides/conflicts/replaces for glutg3->libglut3 rename.
+ + removed all -dev package build dependencies.

Note this package is now in Debian Testing which means it will be in Sarge.
I'll work on a similar dummy version of the glut package for 10.4 which will
just force a dependency on freeglut.
