A new upstream release of nvidia-graphics-drivers adding support for
xserver 1.19 is now in unstable.
There haven't been any new upstream releases for the 340 and 304 legacy
driver series, yet. I don't mind if they get removed from stretch
temporarily (to unblock the transition, if a package in non-free can
"block" it at all) in the hope that we can get an exception to let them
back in even in later freeze phases (in case there would be new upstream
releases before the release of stretch).
