There was only one small problem, given the modprobe file and the
daemon config file have the same name, by switching the order around
in the debian/bumblebee.install file it meant the daemon config was
getting copied in /etc/modprobe.d by the postinst (which made kmod not
happy!). I've fixed it by installing the modprobe file in
/usr/share/bumblebee/modprobe.d instead of default-config/ which is
where the file from /etc/bumblebee are.

Tested on Sid and Ubuntu 15.10, all looks good to me now.

Finally, note that upstream is becoming active again, which is great
news! I'll check if there's any patch that we haven't sent, and make a
PR on Github (I think the typos one hasn't been sent yet) if that's
all right with you.

Kind regards,
