Yes I was thinking the same, if we keep libglx-nvidia0 as the
top-level dependency then switching that meta-package to depend on it
rather than on libgl1-nvidia-glx would do the trick. Unfortunately the
names would not match anymore.

Maybe we could rename that package to libglx-nvidia0-i386 and have it
provide libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386 to maintain backward compatibility.
Andreas, what do you think?

Kind regards,
