Bug#787582: VDPAU needed

[Julien Aubin]

Very great news, many thanks ! :-)

And yes it would be great to see the 355 series in backports. I've heard
that the packaging for it would be different due to new NVidia
infrastructure. And also I need to point out that the 358 series is coming
very soon (beta releases are already out) so it may be worthless to release
a 355.xx driver. What do you think for this ?
