Hello,

367 (and 364/361) are already packaged on our SVN waiting to be
uploaded:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers/branches/367/

Bumblebee/Primus/VirtualGL do not support Vulkan:

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/769

If you would like to help, that Github ticket is a good place to start.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
