Bug#869694: nvidia-driver: Installing the nvidia-340 package on stretech is impossible, nvidia-375 will be installed instead

[herrdeh]

Package: nvidia-driver
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

doing the following:

   * aptitude install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
   * aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

Here, linux-headers for the nvidia-375 package, not for the -340 package are
installed, making the system unusable.
I think, this bug was already reported in archived bug #848514 - but it still
persists in my installation.

I'm at the nouveau driver at the moment, but can neiter do suspend nor
hibernate, so on a laptop this is not a good solution.
