Bug#708338: RM: nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-71xx -- ROM; RIP; this has been long dead, time to let it rest forever

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

This driver was last working in lenny.
Wheezy finally got a good set of "cleanup" packages ensuring all
diversions, unowned files, conffiles, ... are gone from a users system.
I just uploaded to sid a final version that "revives" the package
content and gets the packaging in sync again with the other
nvidia-graphics-drivers* packages and drops all the transitional
packages. But I don't want to send this through NEW again for the
upcoming package renames.
This shall be the final version available from snapshot.d.o,
just in case anyone still has a use for it. And uses Xorg from lenny.
The module still compiles up to kernel 3.8. Not sure if it still works.

Well, I'm done with it. No need to have the cleanup packages in another
stable release. And the current sid packages won't ever migrate to
testing due to unsatisfiable dependencies.

Bye Bye 71xx!
