We would like to have nvidia-graphics-drivers-* recommend nvidia-modprobe, or provide some way of automatically loading the kernel modules and creating the device nodes. The nvidia-modprobe package is currently in 'universe' and would need to be included in 'main' before a package in 'restricted' can depend on or recommend it.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the bug where we are tracking that.
