Re-enable grub fb and drop the initramfs hook in favour of
"alias nouveau/lbm_nouveau off" (LP: #864149).

5. By Alberto Milone on 2011-09-29

* debian/rules:
  - Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
    uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
  - Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
    all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
    which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).
  - Make it possible to add card ids to the modaliases by
    adding ids in debian/additional_card_ids.
* debian/additional_card_ids:
  - Add support for card id 0dfc.
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.README.Debian.in:
  - Document how to use the additional_card_ids file.

4. By Alberto Milone on 2011-09-07

* debian/rules:
  - Remove trailing spaces.
  - Blacklist the updates flavours in modprobe.conf.
  - Add an initramfs hook to make sure that nothings else loads
    open graphics drivers in the initramfs (LP: #839524).

3. By Alberto Milone on 2011-08-30

* debian/nvidia-current-updates.postinst{.in}:
  - Make sure to create and use X.Org's multiarch extra modules
    path (LP: #807209).
  - Share the same name for grub's blacklist file for all
    drivers.
* debian/rules:
  - Fix issues with pbuild.
  - Do not provide the X abi any longer. Depending on the ABI is
    enough.
