We could also do a temporary manual hack and remove the problematic packages 
from the list that cause the failure. I guess removing libdrm-dev:mips64el , 
libgtk-3-dev:mips64el and the SDL2 packages might help to avoid that the 
mesa stuff gets installed (which causes the trouble)...
Of course this will be overwritten the next time someone runs lcitool again, 
but with a little bit of luck, Debian already got fixed at that point in 
time. What do you think?
