Would need a bit more evidence for that to justify removing the
drivers from the archive.

Can't reproduce, installs just fine on sid amd64 both in isolation and
as part of nvidia-driver installation:

luca at luca-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-legacy-check

Some more detail would be useful. Or any detail at all...
is it a clean install, or an upgrade? Desktop environment? Is i386
added as an additional arch via dpkg --add-architecture? Was the
package installed by itself, or as a result of installing
nvidia-driver? Is it a laptop with optimus? What's the nvidia
hardware? Was the package installed while running with the nvidia
driver or with nouveau? Can we see the relevant logs?

Thanks for your collaboration.

Kind regards,
