The reason for adding bumblebee is that Recommends and alternative Depends on removed packages can cause them to be retained on end user systems after upgrade. Better to remove the references than to try to work out if nvidia would manage to not be affected.

We should remove it from the archive before the next LTS, maybe even before Mantic is released. We're planning on migrating the kernel from fbdev drivers to using simpledrm, but this old driver doesn't support the fbdev emulation layer, meaning that VT's would remain blank when the driver is used. Similarly 418-server and 450-server are also EOL and unsupported. Also we shomehow have remains of 440-server published in the archive, with many superseeded (hostile takeover) of binary packages by 450-server.
