Yes, I see. But in this case, I think that still two solutions are possible: Providing "/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2" as a symlink to "/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa" in nvidia-glx. OpenGL applications would furthermore load "/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libGL.so.8178" (I'm not really sure about this, but I hope so), while the package "xlibmesa-dev" would create the symlink "/usr/lib/libGL.so" pointing to "/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa". Providing the "/usr/lib/libGL.so" in nvidia-glx pointing to the real library. Again, I'm not sure about the runtime linking behavour of OpenGL applications (at the moment I can't perform any tests). It must also be guaranteed that _no_ package (especially "xlibmesa-dev") overwrites this link. I hope that this is helpful for you.
