Hi,

with the 304 drivers in current unstable, this bug even means that 32bit
apps get no acceleration at all since the ia32 packages have already
been removed.

I can confirm that the patch by you, Andreas, is working fine. The
problems with the conffile are caused by a bug in dpkg [1] and there are
other packages triggering it, like libpam-modules. Would it be
appropriate for the NVidia packagers to do an NMU on libxvmc to fix this
situation? Note that I am not speaking about Wheezy here, but about the
current broken status of Sid.
If that'd be of any help, I could do an upload to mentors.d.o (don't
know if that's also used for NMUs, sorry if this is wrong).

Kind regards,
Ralf
