Right, that usually doesn't happen when you upgrade to a new version of
the same driver (for example upgrading nvidia-331 from 331.19 to
331.25).  However, when you are migrated to a different driver package,
e.g. from nvidia-331 to nvidia-340, you will lose your settings, because
they are different packages and they provide different alternatives
(note: the alternatives are what allows you to enable or disable a
driver).

This, while unfortunate, is not a bug, and we cannot change it, due to
the way alternatives work.
