Assuming that you're also using the proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm a bit surprised that your previous version (before I added my commits to the git repo, right?) of bumblebee's packaging works on your Debian laptop. The most important difference between the PPA and Igor's packaging is in bumblebee-nvidia's postinst: PPA: # update-alternatives --set $arch_gl_conf /usr/lib/$arch/mesa/ld.so.conf Igor's debian bumblebee repo (suwako.nomanga.net): # update-alternatives --set glx /usr/lib/mesa-diverted Assuming you haven't manually run update-alternatives to divert the glx symlink from /usr/lib/nvidia -> /usr/lib/mesa-diverted (/usr/lib/nvidia has a higher priority than mesa-diverted), which for the record is also mentioned on the Bumblebee page of Debian's wiki [1], your intel graphics card would be trying to use nvidia's libGL instead of mesa's implementation, and you'd lose 3D acceleration. Debian's alternatives system doesn't have $arch_gl_conf, so the Ubuntu PPA's postinst (and your previous packaging) would fail to correctly divert libGL in Debian. (Unless I'm horribly mistaken and/or overlooked something in your packaging?) Just curious, what's the output of "sudo update-alternatives --display glx" and "glxinfo" on your laptop? Anyways, right now I'm hitting a strange bug with the packages I built; dpkg just seems to hang while installing bumblebee and bumblebee-nvidia, i.e.: $ sudo dpkg -i bumblebee_3.0.1-1_amd64.deb bumblebee-nvidia_3.0.1-1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 398188 files and directories currently installed.)

Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/bumblebeed ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) <...seems to get stuck here> (Reproducible with the packaging after I committed my changes, and with only your changes instead.) Poking around with ps tells me that the show stopper is "/bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/bumblebee.postinst configure 3.0.1-1", hence something about bumblebee's postinst script is causing me some trouble, but then again Igor's Debian bumblebee packages work fine: $ sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia Reading package lists...
