The NVIDIA packages and squeeze

[Russ Allbery]

Hi Julien and other release folks,

Andreas finished a new version of nvidia-graphics-drivers with fixes for
the issues pointed out in Julien's initial review and some other bugs and
upgrade reports that we've received.

Should I go ahead and upload this now, or wait until Julien has a chance
to finish doing all the package reviews?  Here's the changelog:

  [ Andreas Beckmann ]
  * Remove /emul directories if empty after removing old NVIDIA files in
    the nvidia-glx-ia32 postinst.
  * Update versioned Breaks for the new NVIDIA legacy releases.
  * Add Conflicts: fglrx-driver, fglrx-glx, fglrx-glx-ia32 to the
    libgl*-nvidia-alternatives packages, too.  (Closes: #597443)
  * libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32: abort before configuring on broken
    systems, i.e. /usr/lib32 being a symlink pointing to
    /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib (reinstall libc6-i386 to fix)
  * debian/*.postinst(configure): abort early if DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is
    not set (usually if called from dpkg-reconfigure, see #560317)
  * nvidia-glx{,-ia32}: print warning in postinst if unknown
    /usr/lib{,32}/libGL.so.*.* exist.  (Closes: #596898)
  * nvidia-glx: depend on xorg-video-abi-6.0 as suggested by Xorg maintainers.
  * libgl1-nvidia-glx: don't remove alternative owned by libgl1-nvidia-dev.
  * NEWS: rephrase legacy 71xx note because these drivers no longer work with
    current Xorg.
  * nvidia-kernel-source: lower Recommends: nvidia-glx to Suggests to avoid
    pulling nvidia-kernel-dkms into the system before the user had a chance to
    build a module (see #590221).
  * Add new patch 2.6.36-ioctl.patch to fix module build for kernel 2.6.36.
  * Add myself to Uploaders.

  [ Russ Allbery ]
  * Remove Andres Mejia from Uploaders at his request.
