Bug#572717: libgl1-mesa-dri: do not depend on libdrm-radeon1
Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 7.7-4
Severity: normal
apparently ati has gained some popularity again lately, but i don't
think it justifies to make a non-chip specific package depend on a
particular chip's (family) lib.
while it is a nuisance on any normal pc, it is a no-go on limited
devices like the freerunner.
in my experience it has become a real pest lately that a lot of
packages define unnecessary dependencies because "it doesn't matter
with today's computers" -- but it does matter and even more with a
distribution that attempts to be available on a plethora of devices, not
all having abundant memory, disk space or cpu.
