ACK + committed, except for adding Depends: ${package:libcuda1}

NACK in that form.

Sounds sensible.

I implemented a different solution using shlibs.local to override the
dependencies for libcuda.so.1 (and reusing $(package_libcuda1)) in SVN.
Then we can have dh_shlibdeps resolve these for us without adding -x
options (and yet another copy of the Ubuntu package list). Please try it.

Good to see that the infrastructure I added to the Debian packaging to
support Ubuntu without requiring further changes on their side actually
works :-)


Thanks!

SVN trunk.
