src:nvidia-graphics-modules builds prebuilt kernel modules
(nvidia-kernel-$KVERS-$FLAVOR) built from nvidia-kernel-source
(src:nvidia-graphics-drivers) (the module-assistant/make-kpkg/...
package) and is restricted to i386 and amd64 - as it uses blobs that are
only available for these two archs.

Didn't know about this field - will look into and use it in the future.

So I would ideally need a
Built-Using: nvidia-graphics-drivers (= $V1), linux (= $V2)

Does this also influence testing migration? I.e. does n-g-m now wait for
n-g-d (= $V1)
