OK. That's interesting. This is just the update from xorg, built a 
couple of months ago to get multiarch gnome working (because of the 
wayland dep added in gnome 3.6 - the version of wayland you list is not 
multiarch). It's a straight copy of pkg-mesa from the subversion, built 
in a pbuilder. I would assume this will affect all future versions from 
there too, including the one that will (inevitably) finally hit 
experimental/unstable. Thanks for that info. I guess I'll have to look 
into why this linking was lost in their subversion. *sigh*.
