Bug#894123: RM: nvidia-graphics-modules/oldstable -- RoQA; license problem; incompatible with current kernel ABI

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

See #815060 for the license issue.

The Linux kernel ABI in jessie was changed in January as a result of
the mitigation of the Meltdown security issue.  This package would
need to be updated to build new compatible modules, but that should
not be done due to the license issue.

For the same reasons, this package should also be removed from wheezy
- though I don't think that's practical no since there won't be any
further point releases.

Ben.
