 Hi,

 I just started looking inot making nvidia-settings* co-installable.

 Are there any patched package versions used for *-live-* that
 incorporate your patches? I.e. do I need to take of them when adding
 Breaks etc.?

None that are in Debian. We used patched packges locally, but I don't
know if you want to add breaks for them. Our local versioning is
173xx_173.14.35-2+lernstick1 (nvidia-settings-legacy) and
313.18-2+lernstick2 (nvidia-settings).


 Lintian (from experimental) now reports the following tag for
 nvidia-settings:

 I: nvidia-settings: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry
 usr/share/applications/nvidia-settings.desktop

 Should we update this? I have no experience with these .desktop things
 ...

The info text for this lintian warning is indeed confusing. I just
submitted a bug report about that. You should indeed add a Keywords
entry to the .desktop file. Keywords are not displayed but search when
using the serach box in the Gnome shell or similar. While you are at it
I also suggest to remove the System category from the Categories
entry in the .desktop file. The description for System says: System
application, System Tools such as say a log viewer or network
monitor [1]. I don't think nvidia-settings fits this description and having
it in several of the only quite full submenus is a bit annoying.

 PS: There is no need to a patch/bug for nvidia-settings-legacy-*, I'll
 propagate relevant changes form nvidia-settings.
