This time nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx will be a bit more
involved since we need to rename more kernel modules ... as well as
doing something with cuda as well.

Anyway I pushed 346.59 to experimental to add support for a bunch of new
hardware.
I'd prefer to have a working legacy-340xx in unstable before moving
nidia-graphics-drivers to a new upstream release there (>> 340),
unfortunately I didn't find the time to look into the new legacy one yet
after the jessie release.
It will be the first thing for me to handle once I'm back from holidays
in the first week of June.

Have a nice time,

Andreas
