Now that Debian stretch 9.8 was released, new upstream nvidia drivers
are available in the Debian stable repository. However nvidia-detect
is fails to recognise the correct driver:

  # nvidia-detect 1CBC
  Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:1CBC]
  Your card is only supported by the updated drivers from stretch-backports.
  See https://backports.debian.org for instructions how to use backports.
  It is recommended to install the
     nvidia-driver/stretch-backports
  package.

I didn't expect that, since the ID is present in the nvidia ID files
(using the same grep as nvidia-detect does):

  # grep -i 1CBC /usr/share/nvidia/*
  /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids:10DE1CBC
  /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-390xx.ids:10DE1CBC

Looking at the source code of nvidia-detect, it seems nvidia-detect
finds the match in nvidia-legacy-390xx.ids and adds it to
${VERSIONS[390]} (line 71:
https://sources.debian.org/src/nvidia-graphics-drivers/390.87-8~deb9u1/debian/detect/nvidia-detect.in/#L71),
however within the if-statement for debian "stretch\|^9" it ignores
that result (line 138:
https://sources.debian.org/src/nvidia-graphics-drivers/390.87-8~deb9u1/debian/detect/nvidia-detect.in/#L138)

That looks like a bug in nvidia-detect as a result of the update?
