Added "LTSP" to the affected projects, because it's very common there
(nvidia drivers on the LTSP server, and e.g. intel-based clients), even
though it can't be fixed in that project.

Bug description:
On a system where i was moving hard drives from one machine to
another, I noticed that the second machine would not boot successfully
because the first had an nvidia driver which was loaded for it's
operation.
This presents a problem, because if the nvidia package could be
accidentally installed, then people could end up with non working
systems.
Removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf fixed the problem.
For more info and ways to work around this problem, see:
