When upgrading from precise to quantal via apt-get dist-upgrade the
upgrade process ends with error(1) and new kernel package isn't
configured. I believe this can lead to unbootable system (not verified
because I did a quick'n'dirty workaround - see below).
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common
3.5.0-17-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic
Traceback (most recent call last):

dpkg: dependency
problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-generic:
linux-headers-generic depends on linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic; however:
Package linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic is not configured yet.

Workaround:
Edit file /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py, line
87 and replace v = int(name) by v = 304. Then run apt-get dist-upgrade once
again.
Root cause:
Package name 'experimental-304' cannot be converted into integer.
