Agreed (or make Mesa-libGL-devel, as you suggest below, but that gets even 
more convoluted).

You keep saying that.  But, why?  There is no other/alternative GL 
implementation in Core or Extras (Nvidia's doesn't/shouldn't count in 
this discussion).

On the other hand, I thought one of Mike's original motivations for 
splitting off Mesa-GL was to allow for drop-in replacements.  I'm not sure 
if there is value anymore in packaging these separately.
