Hello,

I gave it a shot and indeed it works just fine, I can switch between
current (352.30) and legacy-340xx via update-alternatives.

The only thing missing is nvidia-settings. I see that for other legacy
releases there are separate package for nvidia-settings too, so I guess
we have to split it too?

Kind regards,
