Bug#688749: Add alternatives for nvidia-settings and nvidia-settings-legacy-173xx

[Gaudenz Steinlin]

Package: nvidia-settings
Version: 304.48-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi

Please add alternatives for the current and legacy nvidia-settings
packages to make them co-installable. This is yet another necessary fix
to have both drivers available on Debian Live systems.

The attached patches contain the necessary changes to the various
involved packages (nvidia-settings, nvidia-settings-legacy-173xx,
nvidia-graphics-drivers and nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-173xx). I'll
clone this report to the other packages once it's bug number is
available.

I choose to implement the alternative as a slave to the already existing
alternative "nvidia" for the glx library. I think it does not make sense
to point these to different versions.

I also added the desktop files to the alternative. IMO only the desktop
file for the choosen alternative should be available. The other two
files will not show up as they don't end in .desktop. Having menu
entries for both versions is just confusing. Unfortunatley this is not
possible for the Debian Menu. So this will contain both versions if both
are installed regardless of the alternative choosen.
