For meltdown/spectre mitigation, we need to update to a new upstream
version of the proprietary nvidia driver.
Packaging diff attached. This includes several improvements as well that
are needed to keep the packaging between the different driver versions
in sync.
As usual the Debian revision is -1 instead of -0+deb8u1 to avoid version
number explosion in nvidia-graphics-modules.
This driver version is available in sid in the
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx package (which will get a separate
update request for stretch).
A corresponding nvidia-graphics-drivers update for stretch is still
being prepared, since it involves several packages to be updated
because of a change of the major version: 375 -> 384.

+As new upstream versions of the proprietary driver are released, upload

+Users wishing to try to build new version locally can follow the

+WARNING: these will most likely be work in progress, and the final upload
+may be different and may not support clean upgrades from/to the versions
