The only idea that just comes to my mind is to use debconf to adjust the init script and etc/default/boinc-client doing the required actions if the user decide it, all this changes does not need to go on the default installation since we do not provide CUDA support for obvious reasons(non-DFSG). I'm still not tested CUDA support, but I can try to figure out a solution for this because a lot of users are asking about this. If you are on the move you can also provide a patch to README.Debian explaining all this and I can add it on the next upload, this could be a short-term solution. Cheers -- René Mayorga
