Legacy driver package missing from Debian Stretch...?

HI from Quebec City, Canada...
I am running Debian testing (Stretch) with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT video
card, using the proprietary legacy driver usually provided by the
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver package, which seems no longer available in
the non-free branch of the Debian Stretch repository...?
On a regular update of my system last Friday or Saturday, that package
was automatically removed from my system.
I seem unable to reinstall the package from the unstable repository,
because of a dependency problem related to the xserver-xorg-core
package... ( version installed is: 2:1.19.0-2 but version 2:1.18.99
would be required, and does not seems available.)
Is this a temporary problem, or has support for the legacy driver been
dropped from Debian Stretch...?
Best regards,
Mr Yvan Laguë
