The canonical way used to be:
xlibmesa-glu | libglu-dev
it is now:
libglu-dev-xorg | libglu-dev
but soon it will be:
libglu-xorg-dev | libglu-dev

Yes, I'm a muppet.

As of -35, libglu-xorg-dev | libglu-dev is the recommended way to do
things.  This will be portable across Debian and Ubuntu.

As for GL headers:
xlibmesa-gl-dev | libgl-dev

But this will probably change in the future, so:
libgl-xorg-dev | xlibmesa-gl-dev | libgl-dev
could be what you need.  But we'll see.
