The installer per se is likely the same for a given release but,
certainly not across releases. Also, the installed *binaries*
do certainly differ between the two branches (eg. check cuda-gdb)
and seem to differ on the way they load expat dynamic library (see below).

I doubt that it can be fixed in this way, since Debian (& Ubuntu?),
do not seem to provide for libexpat.so.0

I would rather have some kind of facility to tell "use whichever 4.2 CUDA"
is available on a given system or, automatically produce a default 4.2 
modulefile.
(yeah, manually I can always do this). 

The tricky part here is, because I want to insert CUDA as dependency for NAMD 
but,
not hardwire a particular distro version. Have you met again this situation?
