It seems like libgl1-mesa-dev creates the symbolic link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so, pointing to mesa/libGL.so. This conflicts with NVidia's libGL.so and ignores the alternative settings. For instance, a call to dlopen will load the mesa library instead of the nvidia library. This is in particular a problem when using OpenGL in dynamic languages such as Python or Common Lisp since they foreign function interfaces use something like dlopen.
