The control file[2] recommends either nvidia-prime (>= 0.5) or bumblebee. nvidia-prime does not exist for Quantal or Raring. Saudy and Precise have 0.4.2-something. Since recommended packages are installed by default, shouldn't these packages be marked as "Suggested"? Installing bumblebee-nvidia will blacklist the nvidia drivers, bringing grief to users.
