I have some difficulty believing that nvidia-352 is free and nvidia-352-updates non-free; I would have thought nvidia-352 and nvidia-355 are both third-party non-free. it is possible this is the result of having some extra PPAs installed: pumpkin@pumpkin:~/4788.5236.la$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-355 Reading package lists...
