Hi, I've found a bug in your new packaging.
In your release notes you state that you removed package nvidia-kernel-common but actually nvidia-kernel-support stills depend on it. https://packages.debian.org/experimental/nvidia-kernel-support Changes are there : http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-graphics-drivers_352.55-2_changelog (And package 340.93-6 actually removes dependency on nvidia-kernel-support) Could you please fix it ?
