Hi, I initially triaged this bug when it was reported against bumblebee.

I'm not clear why you stopped providing "alias nvidia nvidia-current"
(and likewise for -uvm module). I believe providing that alias is
sufficient to solve this issue. With your current scheme, "modprobe
nvidia" works but "modprobe -r nvidia" fails. Why is that desirable?
Why was the alias removed?

Thanks.
Alexander
