the namespace is simply xserver-xorg-input-* for input drivers and
xserver-xorg-video-* for video drivers. :)

There's nothing specific to non-free here.

To install nvidia stuff, one has to enable non-free, and -nouveau
should be pulled automatically already. So I guess -video-nvidia* is
fine?

Added.

Thanks.
