They are from stretch-backports because of the apt resolver, the only
backports installed on that system are josm, qgis & libsfcgal1.

But I don't want the backport.

Disabling stretch-backports sources gives better results:

 The following packages will be REMOVED:
   libegl1-nvidia libgldispatch0-nvidia
 The following NEW packages will be installed:
   libegl1-glvnd-nvidia libglvnd0-nvidia libnvidia-egl-wayland1
   nvidia-egl-common nvidia-egl-icd nvidia-egl-wayland-common
   nvidia-egl-wayland-icd
 The following packages will be upgraded:
   libegl-nvidia0 libgl1-glvnd-nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx
   libgles-nvidia1 libgles-nvidia2 libgles1-glvnd-nvidia
   libgles2-glvnd-nvidia libglx-nvidia0 libglx0-glvnd-nvidia
   libnvidia-cfg1 libnvidia-eglcore libnvidia-glcore
   libnvidia-ml1 libopengl0-glvnd-nvidia nvidia-alternative
   nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-bin nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-kernel-dkms
   nvidia-kernel-support nvidia-vdpau-driver nvidia-vulkan-icd
   xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
 23 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I shouldn't have to disable the backports sources for `apt-get
dist-upgrade` to work correctly.

Kind Regards,
