Hi Andreas,

(Just copying your reply from the bug report on the BTS' web
interface, so sorry if this breaks threading.)

Bumblebee users have their primary display driven by their integrated
Intel GPU, and thus require mesa's libGL (not nvidia's) for 3d
acceleration on their primary display. AFAICT, this "intentional"
change just broke bumblebee for users with the latest set of
glx-alternatives packages from experimental.

Looks like I'll have to add an explicit dependency on libgl1-mesa-glx
for bumblebee.
