* debian/
nvidia- $flavour. {dirs|postinst} .in, rules:

of /usr/lib/nvidia- $flavour so that the file is available
early in the boot process when /usr is on a different
partition (LP: #538071).
- Ignore errors when trying to update the initramfs
with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
using chroots (LP: #556653). - 32. By Alberto Milone

templates. - 26. By Alberto Milone
