Bug#649514: nvidia-cg-toolkit: should this package be orphaned?

[Miguel A. Colón Vélez]

Hello:

>We could use Breaks/Replaces: nvidia-cg-toolkit (<< ${source:Version})
>That should cover also some future versions from unclear sources.
>In the worst case we could add an epoch and Breaks: n-c-t (<< 1:0) and

The nvidia-cg-toolkit (<< ${source:Version}) option sounds good.

Also libcggl should have a break/replace libcg (<< 3.1.0013-1) or  the
more generic  (<< ${source:Version}) due to ubuntu precise/quantal.

I want to make a few other trivial changes but I will wait until it
gets merged into git.d.o.

It's probably due to
"http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650536" in the
recently uploaded lintian. The original packaging applied all
hardening flags except the ones in LDFLAGS (relro). The new packaging
from what I see adds the missing LDFLAGS therefore the remaining
warnings are either the blobs or false positives.

Cheers,
