Still can't switch using apt, it chokes.

With aptitude these work:

  aptitude install nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-vulkan-common nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd- nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common-

  aptitude install nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common nvidia-driver-libs- nvidia-vulkan-common-

So I'll just mention these in the README.
