It does block nouveau from being loaded (just tried it again: install  
nvidia-cuda-icd, reboot):

$ sudo lsmod | grep nouveau
$

If you look at the provided logs, only /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old shows  
the nouveau driver actually being used, /var/log/Xorg0.log shows that  
vesa is being used.

libcuda1 is not installed, no.

Now, "apt remove nvidia-alternative", reboot, everything is fine again.
