Oh, yikes.  To the best of your knowledge, are this kind of in-kernel
ABI breakages going to be avoided in the future (over timespans that
matter to Debian, i.e., one or two years)?

If not, I would like to look into a way to make multiple versions of
nouveau co-installable, with the version to use chosen at run time
based on the kernel version. :(
