I've added the break, but a suggest is not enough to make apt wisen up,
even when adding bumblebee-nvidia which depends on nvidia-driver:

# apt install /tmp/primus-libs_0~20150328-6_amd64.deb /tmp/primus_0~20150328-6_amd64.deb bumblebee-nvidia

Note, selecting 'primus-libs' instead of '/tmp/primus-libs_0~20150328-6_amd64.deb'
Note, selecting 'primus' instead of '/tmp/primus_0~20150328-6_amd64.deb'
The following additional packages will be installed:
  bbswitch-dkms bumblebee keyboard-configuration libdbus-1-3 libepoxy0 libfontenc1 libfreetype6 libgbm1
  libgl1-mesa-glx libice6 libpixman-1-0 libpng16-16 libsm6 libwayland-server0 libwrap0 libxaw7 libxfont2 libxkbfile1
  libxmu6 libxpm4 libxt6 nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-support socat x11-common x11-xkb-utils xkb-data
  xserver-common xserver-xorg-core
Suggested packages:
  nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd xfonts-100dpi | xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable
Recommended packages:
  dbus nvidia-driver | libcuda1 primus-libs-ia32 xfonts-base xauth libpam-systemd
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx nvidia-driver-libs
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  bbswitch-dkms bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia keyboard-configuration libdbus-1-3 libepoxy0 libfontenc1 libfreetype6
  libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-glx libice6 libpixman-1-0 libpng16-16 libsm6 libwayland-server0 libwrap0 libxaw7 libxfont2
  libxkbfile1 libxmu6 libxpm4 libxt6 nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-kernel-support primus primus-libs socat x11-common
  x11-xkb-utils xkb-data xserver-common xserver-xorg-core


I can add it anyway, as it won't hurt.
