Thanks for the heads-up.  This is what I have committed to CVS:

   Users of Debian Sid, Sarge, and derivatives will need these packages:
	python2.3-dev
	python2.3-numeric
	gtkglarea5-dev
	libgtk1.2-dev
	g++
	libboost-python-dev
	libglu-dev (xlibmesa-glu-dev OR nvidia-glx-dev) **

** libglu-dev doesn't exist; it is Provided by other packages.  If you
use Mesa+DRI, then xlibmesa-glu-dev will meet this requirement.  If you
use NVIDIA's non-free OpenGL drivers you will need nvidia-glx-dev.
Other drivers may require you to use a specific -dev package for that
driver.

(end)

Oddly enough, even though nvidia-glx-dev Depends on xlibmesa-glu-dev and
xlibmesa-gl-dev, it is not enough to have those two packages alone on
your system if you have the nvidia-glx packages installed.  Go figure.
If you have anything else you want me to add, please let me know.
