This patch is a bit incomplete. It does not deal with the case where the
upgrade fails. A postrm is needed to get the old configuration file back
in
this case (a corner case, admittedly). I have prepared such a patch.

I have (as announced on the mailing-list) a nvidia-kernel-common package
which resolves all declared bugs,
and some others. I post the relevant parts here for reference, but as some
reformatting was involved,
I hope the patch is good enough.
