Hello release team,
Further upgrade testing by Andreas uncovered a few issues with
dependencies in the nvidia-graphics-drivers packages that I think are
appropriate to fix for squeeze since they could lead to upgrade problems
(particularly with partial upgrades). Below is the changelog. Is it okay
for me to upload a new version of this package to unstable?
The previous version has not yet propagated to testing due to ia32-libs,
which from other discussion I think is going to need another upload of
ia32-libs to resolve, so I don't believe this would delay propagation.

[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* Drop Breaks: xserver-xorg-core (<< 2:1.6).
There is no file name conflict between /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (from
NVIDIA) and /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so (only in
xserver-xorg-core << 2:1.6) that could cause the wrong library to be
loaded by NVIDIA's libgl.so.
* Change xserver dependency to 'xorg-video-abi-6.0 | xserver-xorg-core
(<< 2:1.7.7)' as the driver is supposed to work with older abi versions,
too.
* Add Pre-Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.9-18) to all packages handling files in
/usr/lib32.
* Restrict nvidia-opencl-common Recommends: nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32 to amd64.
* libgl1-nvidia-alternatives needs to Breaks: old nvidia-glx*-dev packages,
some were shipping a libGL.so symlink which may cause problems on partial
upgrades.
* libgl*-nvidia-alternatives* needs to Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15) for using
dpkg-divert --listpackage in the postinst script.
