This has nothing to do with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. If anything
it's a kernel issue, as vgaarb lives in the kernel and the nvidia driver
doesn't need it.
If you're facing any other issue with the nvidia driver, please file a
separate bug report.

I confirm that the problem exists also on a updated install from Utopic
to Vivid 15.04, but Nouveau driver is working just fine.
To use Nouveau driver I did the following:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-settings nvidia-349 nvidia-prime
nvidia-opencl-icd-349
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-ed
I confirm that the problem exist on a fresh install of Vivid 15.04
(STABLE).

lspci lists the Card as "3D Controller". Only after adding the xorg-edgers PPA
the "Additional Drivers" programs offers some nvidia drivers

No, this makes that the use of dedicated card useless and break the UX.

What does this break, other than bumblebee? Does X fail to start? (if
so, please provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

I also confirmed that after upgrade to Vivid 15.04 beta 1 this also
happens.
Basically, this means that optimus is useless when the the nvidia card
is identified as "3D Controller" instead of "VGA compatible
controller".

It looks like this bug is affecting me. Everything works fine, unless
machine goes into suspend mode, then it just hangs.
This are messages since machine was suspended:
[ 588.442408] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 588.667341] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:21:29
** Description changed:
Basically, vga cannot detect NVIDIA cards as "VGA compatible
controller", this is tested on a Optimus System.
