+Forking a new legacy package
+
+    In order to create a new legacy package (e.g. for legacy version 42)
+    from this source package, the following changes need to be done:
+
+    * in debian/rules.defs set   NVIDIA_LEGACY = 42
+
+    * in debian/changelog and debian/control (Source: and Package: lines)
+      change the package name by inserting '-legacy-42xx' into the package
+      name after nvidia-glx, nvidia-kernel, nvidia-graphics-drivers
+
+    * remove all packages that should no longer be built from debian/control
