Accepted xorg 6.8.2-11 (source)

[Reinhard Tartler]

Hi Developers, hy Daniel,

We MOTU's have some questions about how to specify correctly build
depends in universe, but I think this discussion affects also an
larger audience.

This is the Message from Katie with the relevant change (I think):

How are OpenGL applications supposed to specify their build depends on
GL and GLU headers? There are quite a lot of packages universe which
FTBFS because xlibmesa-glu has been renamed. I see that build
depending on libglu-dev-xorg seems to provide both GL and GLU headers,
so many packages will build again.

But I don't know if that will not change in future again. So I'd like
to know, what is the most robust way of specifying a build dependency
on GL headers? And how for GLU headers? Is there some way to specify
them in a way that the package will build in ubuntu as on debian
autobuilders? (Yes, I'm maintaining also an opengl app in debian, and
I'd like to keep them in sync).
