In the bug report, Andrei also mentions that it is required for some
reason, but I don't know exactly what the reason is.

Andrei, could you explain that in more detail?

Well it was a workaround. In this way opengl distro features would point to our libraries even if that is not the right thing to do. Think about libsdl. I actually did this for this case as i remember. libsdl was a dependency for omxplayer and libsdl was triggering mesa in build because of this opengl dependency taken from DISTRO FEATURES. So I made this to trick the package not to depend on mesa but on rpi graphic libraries.

But I dropped this ugly thing. We need a real way to fix this now. There is a discussion on ml already about this.
