Hi!

I am pretty sorry but providing a binary package that does not depend on
nvidia blob  does not  make conky  allowed to be  in main.  Policy 2.2.1
states that  a package in  main "must not  require a package  outside of
main for compilation or execution  (thus, the package must not declare a
"Depends", "Recommends",  or "Build-Depends" relationship  on a non-main
package)".

Therefore, conky should be moved back into contrib.

Moreover, conky-std was lacking  some functionalities of conky-all. This
is a  pity that users  that choose to  keep their system with  only free
stuff do not have access to a complete version of conky just because the
complete version also has nvidia stuff in it. Users of "main" should not
be second-class citizens.

It seems that nvidia.c could  be provided into an alternate version that
uses nvidia-settings if installed. From:
 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Method_1_-_nvidia-settings

$ nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp -t
41

If you can  provide the name of  other settings, I could come  up with a
patch to solve this.
