Thanks a lot Timo, I got it to work now (or at least the build process
runs a lot longer this time).

I think the build-depends on the packages are in fact broken. I ran
the apt-get build-dep command on both "mesa" and "libgl1-mesa-dri"
and it said I had everything (see verbatim log from my terminal below).
However, once I ran debuild as you said it did point out that I was
missing lesstif2-dev. After installing the lesstif2-dev package my
got past the nasty error.
