Package: nvidia-xconfig
Version: 352.79-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It may be appropriate to include in the description of nvidia-xconfig that
this program is not needed if the nvidia-driver package is being used,
because nvidia-driver installs the needed config into
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Thank you.
