I'm not super worried about this issue. I sort of suspect that early adopters who would have installed nouveau in karmic and actually kept it instead of going to -nouveau, maybe have already upgraded to lucid and are on nouveau there. Adding a conflicts/replaces is probably fine, but I don't think this is worth putting too much time into. It is a good idea that we should remove or disable nouveau from ppas. I've switched off the xorg-edgers nouveau PPA (I think we pretty much no longer need it - correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any other places where old nouveau bits are hiding and need removed?
