Hi Sebastian,

When backporting libva-1.7.2-1 today, it builds against and depends on
libdrm-2.4.58-2 instead of 2.4.70-1~bpo8+1.  Intel-vaapi-driver
correctly builds and depends on libdrm-2.4.70-1~bpo8+1.  Is it really
ok?  Shouldn't the two build against and require the same libdrm
version? eg, intel-vaapi-driver/debian/control: libdrm-dev (>= 2.4.60)

Cheers,
Nicholas
