Yes. I'd probably call it nvidia-driver-full (as in texlive-full) since 
-all could be mistaken as 'installs all (supported) driver series'.
And you would want hard Depends and no Recommends ?
Is there anything that should be excluded?
Are there any binary packages from different source packages that should 
be included as well? Mainly thinking about bits that are included in the 
.run file but since source is available, we build it from source 
instead. nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-persistenced?
