But shouldn't BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEVAS_GL instead depend on a new virtual
package for full OpenGL? We can imagine having in the future other
implementations that Mesa3D for the full OpenGL, no? Like if you
install the NVidia proprietary drivers, I believe they come with their
own implementation of OpenGL, completely independent from Mesa3D, no?

In this case, since we can "select" a virtual package because that
doesn't make sense, the dependency would have to be a "depends on", and
we're good, no?
