This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 -
340.107-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (340.107-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).
- Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is
the default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based
Linux distributions.
- Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video
Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11
applications which call XRenderAddTraps().
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for ABI 24.
* debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.postrm.in,
debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.preinst.in,
debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.prerm.in:
- Use diversions for "libGLESv1_CM.so" "libGLESv1_CM.so.1" (LP: #1791542).
* debian/rules,
debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.dirs.in,
debian/templates/nvidia-graphics-drivers.postinst.in:
- Install the modprobe file in /lib, and remove the blacklist
file manually (LP: #1761593).

Bug description:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
The driver package won't remove the blacklist file from /etc
(/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-340.conf), preventing nouveau from being
loaded.
[Test case]
1) Enable proposed, install the new nvidia-340
2) Uninstall nvidia-340
3) See if either /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-340.conf or
/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-340.conf.
[Regression potential]
Low, since it should move a blacklist file from /etc to /lib
______________________________________________________________
Following a successful install and subsequent use of nvidia-340 -
uninstallation of nvidia via Additional Drivers led to a reboot to a
desktop at 640x480 px.
Investigation found an nvidia created file left on the system
blacklisting nouveau, deleted file and rebooted to normal desktop.
Didn't think about ubuntu-reporting this - can try and replicate and
apport-collect if it's of any use.
