Merge lp:~albertomilone/ubuntu-archive-tools/nvidia-1000-whitelist into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools

Add NVIDIA releases from 440 to 1000 (in steps of 5) to the i386 whitelist

This should save us from updating the script for a while, adding releases from 440 to 1000 in steps of 5. Having a regex in place would more efficient, but I am not sure where to do that.

Thanks for this. The problem with a regexp is that the whitelist in launchpad must contain an exact list of packages, so this script would need to scrape the archive in order to expand any regexp at runtime. Possible, but would involve extra work. So I think your current approach is fine.
