Bug#602733: nvidia-kernel-dkms: Missing documentation

[Andreas Tille]

Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 195.36.31-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

the package description is refering to

  /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-dkms/README.txt.gz

but there is no such file and I think there is *any* information
what to do with this package missing.  A README.Debian would be
really nice.

Kind regards

    Andreas (again without X after kernel upgrade :-().
