Can we do in the preinst something like

nvglx_installed=$(dpkg-query -s nvidia-glx | grep ^Status: | grep install)
# which is the relevant entry we should look for:
# Status: install ok installed ?
nvglx_version=$(dpkg-query -s nvidia-glx | grep ^Version: | cut -d' ' -f 2)

if [ "$installed" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$nvglx_version" lt-nl
195.36.31; then
	echo "WRONG PACKAGE INSTALLATION ORDER"
	echo "old version of nvidia-glx is still installed"
	echo "ABORTING"
	echo "(don't use dpkg -i, but instead apt-get or aptitude becuase these
reorder the packages correctly)"
	exit 1
fi
