there's an older bug for src:vulkan-loader, let's use that
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vulkan-loader/+bug/1742711
** Summary changed:
- Move mesa-vulkan-drivers from Univers to Main and install by default in
Ubuntu 18.04
+ MIR: mesa-vulkan-drivers FFE: install by default
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Incomplete
** Description changed:
+ MIR:
+ - mesa-vulkan-drivers is from mesa, which is already in main
+ - maintained just as mesa is, by ubuntu-x-swat
+
+ FFE:
+ - new packages in the default install (mesa-vulkan-drivers, libvulkan1)
+ -> no chance of regressing anything

A Vulkan related bug was filed at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vulkan/+bug/1742711, but in a
related note, having mesa-vulkan-drivers moved from Universe to Main and
installed by default in Ubuntu 18.04 is crucial. Vulkan has gotten
mature and since the OpenGL drivers are installed, it will very
complimentary.
Having this available will aid game developers and users who load up a
Vulkan application and get errors. They may not know to enable Universe
in their Software Manager and to manually install mesa-vulkan-drivers
for their video card. They may just load up that Vulkan application,
find out it doesn't work, and then give up on it. We cannot have that
for future adoption of the API.
Plus, GTK and Qt are adopting Vulkan and applications like Gnome MPV are
implementing experimental support for Vulkan. For Ubuntu being a leader
for the desktop and a base for GNU/Linux gaming, shouldn't it be
painless for Ubuntu 18.04? Especially since it is a long term release
for 5 years.
