Based on what you said, I did some investigation this end (initially I 
treated this as a bad packaging issue and left it at that) - 
libegl1-mesa-drivers is responsible for the shared library, and is 
installed on this machine. BUT, the library definitely doesnt exist - I 
did an aptitude reinstall, and suddenly the library is installed... so 
it seems to have been some other package's screwup I guess (I don't 
fiddle with these packages so it isnt my issue) - although I can't take 
this further as I'd need a pattern for the .so disappearance.

Sorry for the noise.
