Here is what I did:
1. grab the mesa source
2. install 3 patches two from here
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746272> and one from here
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=cfeb394224f2daeb2139cf4ec489a4dd8297a44d>
(i used the --dry-run option before I applied the patch to be sure there
were no errors)
3. installed the dependencies and compiled. I followed the instructions on
creating deb packages found on the Debian forums here
