Is there any reason why this is still not the case with 185.18.36-2
currently in sid or was this bug report just forgotten?

nvidia-glx.shlibs even says:

  libGL     1 libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1

so if packages compiled with nvidia-glx' libGL even should get the same
dependency like every other package using libgl1-mesa-glx, then I think
it's safe that nvidia-glx Provides: libgl1.
I fail to see a reason why it insteads diverts it.
Or does Nvidia's libGL has an internal fallback to libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
if it exists? IMO that would be strange.
