Ha! I might be listed as Uploader, but that's because people ignore me.
I have no idea what I am doing (as I don't know perl) and therefore said
that this is a one-time NMU to fix bug … worked perfectly (not). ;)

Thanks!

In that case the dependency of bumblebee needs a:
 bbswitch-dkms | bbswitch-source
and bumblebee-nvidia needs to accept m-a compiled nvidia modules.
That would be something like: | nvidia-kernel-319.32   (and all the others).
But I am not sure why you are listing each and every possible module here,
why not "just" a big nvidia-kernel-{legacy-{173xx,96xx}}-{dkms,source} or-
group (plus whatever ubuntu might call the packages maybe).


Best regards
