I think that's it so far. I just saw that NVIDIA had some beta 260.xx
drivers and in the changelog they mentioned that they no longer ship the
header files. So I decided to get rid of the unused files immediately
(/usr/include/nvidia/GL/* and /usr/lib*/nvidia/libGL.so). This
simplifies things :-) I also changed nvidia-glx-dev to transition
directly to libgl1-mesa-dev leaving the recently introduced
libgl1-nvidia-dev (which just contains one static library
/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.a - does anyone use this?) dangling around with
noone depending on it.

Or should we just remove libXvMCNVIDIA.a? There is a shared library
provided as well. Didn't Debian prefer getting rid of static libraries?
That means we could remove libgl1-nvidia-dev before it enters
testing/squeeze, so less transitional packages are needed in the future.

Removal of the CUDA and OpenCL headers will happen in the experimental
branch and requires some update of nvidia-cuda-toolkit (the new provider
of all the headers), too. (And will simplify things there as well.)
