The one is a fake package selecting the proper one. The nvidia
packages are multi-install capable and the recent developments show
why - some drivers work better for 3D games, others for PVR etc. So
everyone can pick their own best driver and driver development.

nvidia-graphics-devel justs sets the default one for "stable" and
there is also another nvidia-graphics-devel in "bleeding" activating
the latest and not-yet-stable-tagged nvidia driver development libs.

For example if you need vdpau development libs you will need the
"bleeding" version.
