* Fix (LP: #282284) Replace the nvidia-xconfig binary with a
  script which depends on python-xkit and covers the basic
  functionalities of nvidia-xconfig
* Add dependency on python-xkit to nvidia-glx-173
* Test the existence of the dkms folder in
  nvidia-173-kernel-source.postinst

13. By Alberto Milone

Fix (LP: #262027) Make sure to remove (in
nvidia-173-kernel-source.postinst) any directory which
was not removed because of bug 261816

12. By Bryce Harrington

Rebuild against the new xserver-xorg-dev.

11. By Alberto Milone

* Fix (LP: #261816) Replace "remove" with "remove|upgrade" in the
  case loop in nvidia-177-kernel-source.prerm so that older versions
  of the drivers are removed in case of upgrade
* Add a patch to support kernel 2.6.27. Call smp_call_function() and on_each_cpu()
  with 3 arguments instead of 4 if kernel == 2.6.27.

10. By Alberto Milone

Fix (LP: #254969) Make nvidia-glx-173 conflict with xorg-driver-fglrx

* Fix (LP: #254444) Remove pound from link in nvidia-glx-173-dev.links.in
* Fix (LP: #259105) Add missing link to usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.#VERSION# in
  usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so

8. By Alberto Milone

* Don't test the existence of libGL.so, libGL.so.1, libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib32 when
  adding a diversion on them in the preinst. This will make sure that NVIDIA's
  libGL.so.xx will win against the one in ia32-libs [amd64]
* Remove diversions of libGL.so in the preinst added by nvidia-glx-VER and add a new
  diversion of the file to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.xlibmesa [amd64]
* Remove diversion of libGL.so in the postrm.in [amd64]
* Remove dependency on ia32-libs [amd64]
