I've got an NMU prepared and sitting in the XSF svn repo[0]. Almost all the
work was done by Daniel Stone, so I mainly had to add the appropriate bug
closers in the changelog.

This NMU will depend on a new version of libdrm. I've uploaded the libdrm
NMU as well, but because it involves an soname change it's sitting in NEW
right now, waiting. This mesa NMU will also have to wait in NEW as well,
because it involves various package name changes that were discussed
between Daniel, Marcello, and Michel Dänzer. But things are ready to go and
this will clear out the vast majority of the bugs filed against the
packages.
