Bug#704801: i965-va-driver: Intel video i915_drv_video.so fails to load

Well, libva-intel-vaapi-driver is just a dummy transitional package
depending on i965-va-driver, so reassigning.

Does it mean you had this problem with i965-va-driver 1.0.20-1 too?

As for now, i965-va-driver 1.0.20-1 seems to work for me (libglapi-mesa is 8.0.5-4):
