The detection should be fixed since 375.82-7: Detect devices in PCI 
classes 0301 (XGA compatible controller) and 0302 (3D controller), too.

sid$ nvidia-detect 10de:139b
Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:139b]
Your card is supported by the default drivers and legacy driver series 390.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-driver
package.

Turning this bug into a wishlist report for enhancing nvidia-detect to
detect optimus systems.

Bug#849013: nvidia-detect: Nvidia Optimus Technology device(s) not detected incl. GTX 960M

[Taylor Kline]

Package: nvidia-detect
Version: 375.20-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Output of nvidia-detect does not show a GTX 960M:

$ nvidia-detect 
No NVIDIA GPU detected.

I am able to see the device as recommended at
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=603924#p603924 via:

$ lspci -vnn | grep '\''[030[02]\]'

530 [8086:191b] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX
960M] [10de:139b] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

Here's a helpful output I would expect:
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
$GTX 960M$
It is recommended to install the
bumblebee-nvidia and primus
packages according to https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee.

Thanks for your consideration.
