Bug#873050: nvidia-driver: Need 367.xx legacy release for GRID cards now too

Package: nvidia-driver
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

As documented in the 375.xx README, NVIDIA has now created a 367.xx
line of legacy drivers due to deprecating various GRID cards.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/375.66/README/supportedchips.html

Without packaging for the 367.xx legacy line, GRID users will find
themselves having to downgrade to the legacy 340 line upon upgrading.

Thanks!  -Tyson
