nvidia-graphics-drivers 302.* should migrate later today, thereafter
this should be working again. So far we did never encounter any
incompatibilities between the driver and nvidia-settings ... so there
are no versioned Depends/Conflicts.

But this probably means it is no longer working for the 173xx legacy
release either and we need to find a solution there, too.

The significant changes in 302 that could have an impact here is the
added support for XRandr 1.2/1.3
