Searching for glBegin on debian yielded only the result previously
mentioned, in stable. The package is absent from unstable/testing.

On ubuntu, it seems the package disappeared after hoary which had it
in a package of the same name:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/libdevel/xlibmesa-gl-dev

It's not present in breezy or dapper.

Google doesn't report any other packages that have picked up the man page:

http://www.google.com/search?q=glbegin.3x.gz+site:packages.debian.org&hl=en&lr=&pwst=1&filter=0

But some packages have (obviously) picked up the slack in terms of say, libgl.a.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=libGL.a+site%3Apackages.debian.org+-xlibmesa-gl-dev

I'm not sure which of these new packages *should* contain the man
pages, if any, but hopefully you'll have a better idea then me :).
