Yes, it's installed, but I see something strange occurring.  I'm aware of
apt-file (I love it!), but found that it only installed the following
files (checking through synaptic):

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      22k Aug  9 12:08 /usr/share/doc/libgl1-mesa-dev/copyright
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      14k Aug 28 05:11 /usr/share/doc/libgl1-mesa-dev/changelog.Debian.gz

despite apt-file telling me that libgl1-mesa-dev provides libGL.so for
unstable.  I can only guess that nvidia-glx might have manipulated this,
and given libGL.so.1 only instead.

Thank you, I wish I knew about this before!
