Public bug reported:

glewmx is a new source package, split off glew which is already in main.
The latest version of glew (2.0) was uploaded to Debian and autosynced
to Ubuntu zesty. glew 2.0 unfortunately drops glewmx which is currently
used by nux/Unity. A couple Debian packages also use glewmx so a new
source package was created so the packages would continue to build. [1]

The glewmx binary packages are already in main.[2] Please move the glew
source package to main too for consistency.

It's necessary to keep glew (2.0) in main since LibreOffice uses it.
(LibreOffice obviously still builds with glew 1.13 since that's what was
shipped with yakkety. I have not tested whether it can build with the
minimal glewmx package.)
