Hmmm, I'm a bit flummoxed about why NV_DRM_AVAILABLE is being unconditionally disabled; I can't find anything in d/changelog about this (other than saying this new conftest.sh function was added in 319.17-1), and Andreas doesn't seem to be around nowadays to answer any questions I might have. I'd point out that this drm feature being disabled has been around for a long time, e.g. it's been there since wheezy [1] and perhaps earlier? So it doesn't look like it only affects 340.32, and it should affect earlier versions? Could you please attach a debdiff with your changes? All that you had to change to fix this was debian/module/conftest.h, right?
