Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-185-dev

The nvidia packages appear to be missing "Provides: libgl-dev".  This
causes any packages that needs an OpenGL development environment to
think that mesa is the only option to provide such a thing.

So, for example, one can install the nvidia drivers, and then try to
install qt4-dev-tools, and apt-get will force-install libgl1-mesa-dev.
The end result is a /usr/lib/libGL.so that points at a Mesa library,
despite the nvidia drivers being installed.
