Bug#632566: glx-alternative-nvidia: nvidia's GLX is not set as a alternative for glx

Package: glx-alternative-nvidia
Version: 0.1.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,
the yesterday update-run broke my system. The X-server is not starting
anymore, because it misses the nvidia-driver. Because the nvidia driver is
still there and the yesterday-update removed/changed GLX-packages, I guess
the problem is at the changing of the GLX-system.
I noticed, that

17:30:24root at dabpc:~# update-alternatives --list glx
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted

lists only mesa but no nvidia, so I guess there is a problem with the
alternative-trigger. The trigger-file for nvidia in the source-package is
rather short (compared with the for mesa or fglrx), so I guess it is
incomplete. I noticed that a similar problem was there with fglrx (Bug
631680).

Thanks for your time.

Sincerly,
DaB.
