Oh, I never meant this patch was the correct one, even less so it should
be applied.

As I said in the comment below, I wanted patchwork *not* to catch it.
It is just a starting point of where to break the dependencies loop.
And since time for bed was nigh, I felt it was better just to post it as
is (just so I don't forget it during the night!)

Of course, the solution will involve some fiddling with the virtual
packages. Probably, as you said, adding a new full-openGL virtual
package and adding mesa3D as the provider.

As for the NVidia binary blob, I was anyway planning to look at it in
the near future, so I can run XBMC properly accelerated on my media
center. But there's no timeline...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
