Yeah, all the various implementatins of libgl1-nvidia-glx (including the
legacy drivers) provide and conflict with libgl1-nvidia-glx.  It's a sort
of virtual package.  See Policy 7.5 and 7.6.2.  Usually this is done with
a package name that doesn't also match a physical package, but it seems to
still work this way.
