This is going to be an issue I'm afraid. It would mean forking the
packaging branch. Vincent, what do you think about this?

Also, given that the hook is run in the postinst, doesn't that mean
bumblebee would need to pre-depend on glx-alternative-nvidia? Otherwise
it might not be configured by the time bumblebee's postinst runs, right?
