Some quick thoughts:

1. As Mesa3D is an implementation of OpenGL, it will be a provider for the
   virtual packages libegl, libgles and libopenvg.

2. Mesa3D also provides libgl, but:

  - no package in Buildroot requires full OpenGL.
  - Buildroot is unlikely to include packages for AMD/NVidia/Intel drivers
    (providers for libgl).

  So there is no need for a libgl virtual package.

3. IMHO package/opengl should only contain the definitions of the virtual
   packages, not the providers (otherwise sunxi-mali should be moved to
   package/opengl too!).
