Nice. From a first glance I can say it looks good.
validate_diverted_symlinks is not needed because we don't have any old
messed up diverted links.

We can use it right now to check whether diversions and alternatives
look sane without needing a armel chroot.
For a release we should drop them (unless someone finds a use for them),
but we can easily add more architectures later.

In any case I would keep the triplet "/" so that the package also works
if backported to squeeze (which I plan to do to get newer nvidia drivers
there) which does not use multiarch directories. You probably haven't
decided whether you want backport your new driver.

For the .so links ... let me draft some proposal for reorganization of
the files installed my the MESA packages ...
