Comment 32 for bug 494166

It looks like the driver binaries in the Lucid archive were copied over from
the Karmic archive, where they were built against Karmic's xserver packages,
and they have not been rebuilt against Lucid's xserver packages. So that's
why the nvidia blob is providing the older xserver-xorg-video virtual
package.
