Bug#718774: Nvidia module rename patch break bumblebee

[LOMBARD Maxime]

Actually, with the bumblebee package from Sid repository, the rules file
used to compile bumblebee is :

If i launch "optirun -vv glxgears" for the first time with Nvidia driver
from Experimental, i have this result :

[   46.563213] [DEBUG]Reading file: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

When i launch the same command after to replace "KernelDriver=nvidia" by
"KernelDriver=nvidia-current" in "/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf", i have
the same message.

It's very strange because this error is only for Nvidia drivers from
Experimental. Nvidia driver from Exp. (255.08) and Sid (304.88) use
Kernel3.10 patch.
I have just seen that both drivers use the Module_rename patch but :
1- Nvidia 304.88 works without problem (module name = nvidia)
2- Why the module name for the recent driver is "nvidia-current" ? (On
Archlinux, for the driver 319.32, it's always "nvidia" for the module name)
