Bug#799960: nvidia-graphics-drivers: Please bring back support for -amd64 kernel variant in i386 architecture

[Mert Dirik]

Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 340.76-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed recent versions of nvidia-graphics-drivers has dropped the support
for building amd64 kernel modules when DKMS build for it failed.

Using the -amd64 kernel variant on i386 architecture provides best of both
worlds with regards to software flexibility and memory usage on 64-bit
capable machines with low memory.

Please consider bringing the support back for the -amd64 variant.

Best regards
