Yeaps debian package build system is pain ... sometimes.
Especially if you want build xfree* and friends. Now I'm trying to 
figure out that exactly ...

Haven't tried it. You mean links under /etc/alternatives/ ?

Exactly - no nead to modify the source files. Only Imakefiles or such
and whatever else that builds "lovely" *.deb files ... Install them is easy

and libGLU.so.* under /usr/lib instead of /usr/X11R6/lib ....

actually somebody already have done that :((( i.e. wa...@de...
and http://people.debian.org/~warp/dri is empty now. All I would need
for now is any version of *.diff.gz file. 
This way would I save a lot time .....
