Thanks!

Andreas, it looks like the alternative setup during initial install may
fail if there's no libgl1 already installed on the system.  While that's
probably relatively hard if one has any GUI programs installed, we should
handle that case somehow.

One approach would be to make libgl1-nvidia-alternatives depend on
libgl1-mesa-glx to ensure that it exists on the system (and likewise have
libglx-nvidia-alternatives depend on xserver-xorg-core).  Have you tested
what happens when the other package isn't installed?

Hm, I could have sworn I'd tested this earlier and it worked properly, but
maybe it depends on what version of dpkg one has....
