I had to switch from nvidia to nv driver, because I own a Gforce2
MX/MX400 card that does not work with legacy neither with the latest
drivers.

You will run out of names when nvidia will drop the next card
generations. Perhaps you can name the packages like this:

nvidia-graphics-drivers-200704
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200601
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200506

with the YYYYMM date attached is the date when nvidia did drop some
cards. One whos card does work with nvidia-graphics-drivers-200704 will
not have a problem when the next generation of nvidia drivers, e.g.
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200711, are published

Ok, this is a problem, because people with more recent cards do not
automatically will get the newer drivers. So you need a meta-installer
package "nvidia-graphics-drivers". This analyzes the installed card and
automatically installs the correct package.
