Public bug reported: The packages nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates have a fixed dependency to linux-headers.
This will run in a conflict if only linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal is installed. Solution: add a alternate dependency to linux-headers-generic-lts- quantal and all later supported lts backports as known till now.
