[pkg-nvidia-devel] [patch 190xx] [35/k] add infrastructure for legacy drivers, part 1

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi Russ,

please consider all the remaining 190xx patches concerning legacy
support as obsolete, I'm working on improvements.

To check out your "obscurity scale", ... would turning more control
files into templates (because we need to substitute #LEGACY#) be a
problem? (Would be an empty substitution for the primary package.)
The *.shlibs and *.lintian-overrides are the primary candidates to
become *.in, again.
Same obscurity question goes for adding a lot of ${nvidia:Legacy}
substvars to debian/control.
