Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Version: 20120630+3
When the nvidia-kernel-common package is removed but not purged, the
nouveau kernel module remains blacklisted which is probably not what the
user wants and may create problems.
It seems to me that this could be solved by shipping
nvidia-kernel-common.conf in /lib/modprobe.d/ rather than in
/etc/modprobe.d/. Users can still override the configuration by
creating their own /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf.

Ah, I see -- missed that because I don't have contrib/experimental in my
sources.list.

Might still need a reboot since the KMS drivers are notoriously hard to
unload¹; I never really tried that.
