All the three NEW packages I proposed are now available in experimental
and I can quickly cherry pick whatever the release team agrees to into
unstable.
To summarize:
* Add libxvmcnvidia1 package for the libXvMCNVIDIA*.so.1 library that was
previously included in libgl1-nvidia-glx. The libgl1-nvidia-glx package
was split in order to remove the libxvmc1 dependency and make it multiarch
co-installable. (Closes: #676723, #685054, #686033, #688714)
libxvmc1 has not been multiarchified, libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 not being
co-installable with libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 is a regression from
squeeze (blob-accellerated OpenGL in 32-bit applications no longer working)
* libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386:i386: New M-A: foreign helper package that can be
recommended by libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32:amd64. (Closes: #687506)
make upgrades from squeeze to the multiarch package in wheezy more smooth
* nvidia-cuda-proxy: New package for nvidia-cuda-proxy-{control,server}.
leaf package -> no risks of breaking anything, new binaries that were
recently added to the upstream blob release and don't fit in any
existing package
The first new package is needed (or any other solution for the current
regression), the following two are optional.
Note that sid already has a newer upstream release than wheezy.
This is from the same long-lived upstream branch (see #688698) and
fixes several bugs, at least one was reported in the BTS.
