No, its libegl-${nvidia}0

Honestly, I didn't think about stretch, yet.
At some point we will have 390.48-3~deb9u1 (or a later upstream version
with the prepared changes from 390.48-4 reverted) in stretch (via -pu).
And we will never have 396 or newer in stretch-pu, and therefore not
need legacy-390xx in stretch.

For stretch-backports, the interesting question is "why does it not work
with the libglvd backport"? IIRC, we postponed that question recently
while dealing with -pu.

We now have the same driver and libglvnd version in testing and
stretch-backports - why do we still need to use lib*-glvnd-nvidia* in
backports?

(I'd really prefer to use src:libglvnd in stretch-backports like in
testing/sid and not use lib*-glvnd-nvidia* at all.)
