Thanks.  I wonder if we can override this.  My thinking is there's no
compiling or linking happening when nvidia-cuda-toolkit is built, files are
just unpacked and put in the right places, unless I missed something.

I thought about this for Ubuntu, and in the end I don't think we'd gain
much.  Because we have multiple nvidia driver versions per distribution,
we'd still end up with libcuda-304, libcuda-319, etc. and still need to
employ all the .shlibs tricks to work around that.
