Bug#770588: nvidia-driver automatically installed in eeepc with no nvidia card

This is the output of that command:
#aptitude why nvidia-driver
i   task-lxde-desktop         Depends    lxde
i A lxde                      Recommends xserver-xorg
i A xserver-xorg              Depends    xserver-xorg-video-all |
xorg-driver-video
i A xserver-xorg-video-nvidia Provides   xorg-driver-video
i A xserver-xorg-video-nvidia Recommends nvidia-driver (>= 340.46)

The funny thing is that xserver-xorg-video-all (and also all the
drivers that depend on it) was already installed, and remains
installed after the dist-upgrade. Then, if I try to inquire about
xserver-xorg-video:

#aptitude why xserver-xorg-video
Unable to find a reason to install xserver-xorg-video

Even more, I cannot find package xserver-xorg-video in the repository:

https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=xserver-xorg-video

These are the outputs of apt-cache and aptitude:

#apt-cache showpkg xserver-xorg-video
Package: xserver-xorg-video
Versions:

Reverse Depends:
  xserver-xorg-core,xserver-xorg-video

Reverse Provides:

#aptitude show xserver-xorg-video
No current or candidate version found for xserver-xorg-video
Package: xserver-xorg-video

FWIW, I used apt-get instead of aptitude for the dist-upgrade, and had
a couple of unrelated problems because of errors with man-db, which
were solved by "apt-get -f install".
