As this problem may occur to other users as well, in the coming releases
the postinst script will print a warning if some unknown
/usr/lib*/libGL.so.*.* is found on the system.
More probably something was left from an ancient installation of the
nvidia driver using their installer than someone having libGL.so.1.3,
but who knows.
