Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx

Actually, I mean nvidia-glx-NNNN. Now, nvidia-glx-NNNN drivers require nvidia-NNNN-kernel-source, but in most cases this package are not properly configured. It can only be used with the kernel it had been installed with.
For example, if I have installed it with kernel 2.6.26.5, I can't use nvidia driver with kernel 2.6.27.2 until I reinstall it for the 2.6.27.2.
The idea is, nvidia-NNNN-kernel-source should be installed (built) for all currently installed kernels, and should be reinstaled (rebuilt) for the new kernels during upgrade process.
