and having a bad version number that looks like an official Debian package

probably an intentional library rename done by upstream

you'll have to divert libGL.so.1.2.0 to move it away from
/usr/lib/<triplet>, otherwise ldconfig (which is run from many
maintainer scripts - so nearly every packaging operation "breaks" the
setup) will always recreate (and overwrite) the libGL.so.1 link
