304.84 is a new upstream release (the only way we can get upstream
bugfixes for the blob) that fixes an issue with logging into KDE a
second time after logging out but not restarting X. So far this has
been reported three times in the BTS.

Along this I added some documentation and license updates:
- use License: GPL-2.0 from current dh_make template
- add missing copyright/license to the nvidia-detect script
- put my patches into the public domain, they get applied to the kernel
  module source, so GPL is not appropriate

I just noticed debian/nvidia-cuda-proxy.* got added, too, but the
nvidia-cuda-proxy is not in ebian/control, so this is just a bit noise.

Annotated changelog entry:

new upstream:
  * New upstream legacy 304xx branch release 304.84 (2013-03-04).
    - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
    - Fixed a bug that could lead to rendering corruption after an X
      server generation (i.e., leaving an X server running after all
      of its clients have exited).  (Closes: #700121, #696839, #702918)
    - Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when performing
      an RandR 1.0 rotation (e.g., `xrandr --orientation left`) after
      unplugging the last connected monitor.
    - Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
    - Fixed font rendering performance and corruption problems on X servers with
      backported support for the new glyph cache functionality added to Pixman
      0.27.
    - Fixed a potential X server crash during initialization, when a 
      graphics card with a TV connector has no TV connected.
    - Added a new X configuration option, "UseHotplugEvents", to allow the
      suppression of RandR events when adding or removing non-DisplayPort
      displays. See the "X Config Options" appendix of the README for details.
  * Add xorg-video-abi-14 as alternative dependency.
  * kernel-3.7.patch: Remove, fixed upstream.

fix for nvidia-kernel-source, the corresponding fix for
nvidia-kernel-dkms was already in 304.64-4, and this change is already
in nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-* in wheezy:
  * Fix debian/module/debian/kernel-version to cope with $KSRC/linux/version.h
    being moved to $KSRC/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h in Linux 3.7.
    (Closes: #696570)

documentation and similar:
  * nvidia-vdpau-driver: Move to Section: non-free/video.  (See #700666)
  * README.alternatives: Document to run
    'dpkg-reconfigure glx-alternative-nvidia'
    after running 'update-alternatives --config nvidia'.  (See #702782)
  * README.Debian: Add information about reporting upstream bugs to NVIDIA.
  * Update my email address and remove DMUA.

missing copyright:
  * Add copyright information to the nvidia-detect script originally written
    by Filipus Klutiero for the wiki page.

drop cruft:
  * patch-3.0-rt-nvidia.patch: Remove, disabled since 304.30-2.

relicense:
  * Put my patches into the public domain, they get applied to the kernel
    module source that is under a non-free license from NVIDIA.

nvidia-graphics-modules is just a rebuild against the new driver.

nvidia-settings has some upstream changes, so better keep the version in
sync.

These three packages should go into testing together. I won't mind
giving them a bit more time than the usual 10 days in unstable.
