Did you already request a transition slot from RT?
If not, I can ask them in person. :)

Please see the attached addition to the 'as-needed' patch for the
newer gtk2/gtk3 versions of nvidia-settings.

With this patch in place, we get rid of many additional dependencies
and can then use something along the lines of the following to change
the gtk2/gtk3 dependencies from AND to OR.

override_dh_gencontrol:
    sed -i -e 's/libgtk2.0-0\([^,]*, \)//'
$(CURDIR)/debian/nvidia-settings.substvars
    sed -i -e 's/libgtk-3-0/libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0) | libgtk-3-0/'
$(CURDIR)/debian/nvidia-settings.substvars
    dh_gencontrol

That is assuming we want to prefer gtk2 over gtk3.  If not, it should
be easy to reverse.

Let me know if these changes seem reasonable and I will commit them.
