Nice, but is it possible that it not only replaces 331 by 340 but ALSO ENABLES THEM?

Because I'm under the impression that that just happened to me, and that's a bug.

Ages ago, when I first enabled NVidia drivers, I had this problem that every time I would connect and disconnect an external screen, the computer would start to randomly freeze at any moment. It turned out it was because the lack of support of NVidia drivers for Optimus technology on Linux. So I SWITCHED TO NOUVEAU, and had never been using NVidia drivers ever since, which was/is the only option for those like me who have an Optimus device. And that issue disappeared (though the NVidia drivers were still installed and gave me the compile error at every kernel upgrade).

Now, THE FREEZING ISSUE HAS REAPPEARED.
I suspect the update not only replaced 331 with 340 drivers, but also enabled them while I had explicitly disabled them in favour of Nouveau.

Please how do I disable them again?
And please change back the status of this bug until this part is fixed too.
