Can't remember off the top of my head, but there was a lot of
reshuffling due to the glvnd, some of which has not yet been merged up
from 361 to 367. In general if a branch doesn't build a package anymore,
you don't need it and you should remove it.

nvidia-settings is separate and largely independent, it's not strictly
tied to the drivers version, as long as it's somewhat recent it will be
fine
