I'd like to bring in these packages in a slightly modified version from
AUR to testing and later to extra repos. Both packages have a nice
amount of votes in AUR.

nouveau-drm provides a mesa/drm git version with new drm-nouveau code
not yet implemented in the mainline kernel drm.ko.

You must do this differenlty: This package installs drm.ko in extra/. This way it doesn't conflict with drm.ko from kernel26, but it is still possible that the stock one will be loaded first.

This module MUST be put in the updates/ directory so it will always take precedence. This might break other drm drivers, so I suggest providing a "drm-git" package instead, which would install updates for all drm modules from git to updates/ (instead of just nouveau). This package could then also be used by non-nouveau users.
