Good point!

Does anyone remember why bumblebee-nvidia depends on
  nvidia-driver* | nvidia*-kernel-dkms

(complete Depends: bumblebee (= 3.2.1-25), glx-alternative-nvidia (>=
0.6.92), nvidia-driver | nvidia-tesla-450-driver |
nvidia-tesla-440-driver | nvidia-tesla-418-driver |
nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver | nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver |
nvidia-driver-any | nvidia-kernel-dkms | nvidia-tesla-450-kernel-dkms |
nvidia-tesla-440-kernel-dkms | nvidia-tesla-418-kernel-dkms |
nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms | nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms)

That allows for a broken bumblebee-nvidia installation
    nvidia-kernel-dkms + bumblebee-nvidia
but we need at least the following additional driver components:
* xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
* nvidia-driver-libs

Joel, if you install the nvidia-driver metapackage, everything should be
fine for you.
