Public bug reported:

Availability:
- Builds on all archs.

Rationale:
- Needed as a new dependency for xorg-server 1.16.

Security:
- No CVE's as far as I can tell.
- No executables, init daemons, or privileged ports.
- No add-on to security sensitive software.

Quality assurance:
- Works by default, if opengl is set up correctly. This is already a 
requirement for xorg-server, so nothing new there..
- No debconf questions.
- No open long-term bugs.
- Package maintainer of upstream maintains it in debian too.
- Test suite is disabled during build, because it would require a working 
xorg-server, which would introduce a circular dependency.
- debian/watch file present.

UI standards:
- n/a

Dependencies:
Depends on debhelper, dh-autoreconf, xutils-dev, pkg-config, libx11-dev, 
libegl1-mesa-dev, python which are all in main.

Standards compliance:
- Meets FHS and policy standards.
- Source packaging is easy to understand/maintain.

Maintenance:
- Simple package, low maintenance, synced with debian, could be owned by 
ubuntu-x.

Background information:
- Needed for upgrading xorg-server to version 1.16, used by XWayland, Xephyr 
and glamor (now part of xorg-server).
