neither das plain debian.

however:
$ aptitude show xlibmesa-gl-dev
Package: xlibmesa-gl-dev
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Priority: optional
Section: libdevel
Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x at lists.debian.org>
Uncompressed Size: 3523k
Depends: xlibmesa-gl (= 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11), x-dev, libxext-dev,
libx11-dev, libc6-dev | libc-dev
Conflicts: libgl-dev, xlibmesa-dev (< 4.2.1-5)
Replaces: libgl-dev, xlibmesa-dev (< 4.2.1-5)
Provides: libgl-dev
....

and that's the important thing: Gem needs the opengl-headers and libs,
and they are provided by a package providing libgl-dev
xlibmesa-gl-dev provides libgl-dev (and thus the headers)

i guess you could give installing plaing debian packages a try...
