Hi,

I just noticed an upgrade issue in libcuda1 which shows up on
upgrades from squeeze to wheezy with recommends installed.

The postinst uses a script from nvidia support (and gracefully ignores
the fact if this does not exist). But a problem arises if the script
exists (because nvidia-support was unpacked) but is not yet usable
(because nvidia-support was not yet configured).
Adding a proper Depends fixes up the ordering, there is not really a use
case for using libcuda1 *without* having nvidia-support installed.

Attached is the patch between wheezy and sid (I verified that this
upgrade path works now, too), I'd reupload this is as 304.88-1+deb7u1 to
s-p-u. Of course you can also age & unblock the version currently in
sid.
