It would be much easier to switch between versions in unstable and
experimental, or upgrade from experimental, if there were a dummy
dependency package that depends on all the manifold nvidia component
packages for the given version. It could be called nvidia-driver-all,
for instance. Then only the one package needs to be marked for
upgrade (or downgrade) and will bring in all the others.
Can it be done?
Yes. I'd probably call it nvidia-driver-full (as in texlive-full) since
-all could be mistaken as 'installs all (supported) driver series'.
And you would want hard Depends and no Recommends ?
Is there anything that should be excluded?
Are there any binary packages from different source packages that should
be included as well? Mainly thinking about bits that are included in the
.run file but since source is available, we build it from source
instead. nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-persistenced?
