Honestly, can this decision to split the package be explained a bit more? I feel like we've gone a little overboard on doing some of these splits. Saving 405K from a package (installed, while only 80K on the download!) seems silly for the number of "where did my glx* tools go" and "I installed mesa but don't have glx*" questions that are going to arise now, especially from long-time Arch users.
It was in a separate package for some time in the past, then merged into mesa again. I agree with Dan here.
Mesa-demos are now distributed with a different version number in a separate tarball. It has it's own maintainer and is developed independently from main mesa sources for a while now. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2010-July/001295.html -Andy
