Hi,

I just uploaded nvidia-graphics-drivers 390.67-2~bpo9+1 to
stretch-backports, these packages will
* no longer build lib*-glvnd-nvidia*
* require libglvnd and mesa from stretch-backports

The nvidia packages cannot and will not provide the package names from
libglvnd and mesa. Never. End of discussion.
(Ask yourself: which package should provide libgl1:
libgl1-nvidia{,-legacy-{304,340,390}xx,-glvnd}-glx ?)
