It's in the "Requires.private" field of the gl.pc pkg-config file.  The
same seems to be the case for other packages in the propagated-inputs
list.  Should it be explained for all of them?..

Sadly, there is no such file.

Debian has it as a "source package", and has a Copyright file assembled
for it:

http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/m/mesa-demos/mesa-dem=
os_8.0.1-2_copyright

It builds the mesa-utils and mesa-utils-extra packages from this source
package.  Do we have to do something similar?
