Looking at my /var/log/dpkg.log* files I found that on 2006-07-19 I
installed nvidia-glx-legacy 1.0.7174-4.
I tested it for half a hour then purged it.

Maybe the bug is fixed in the current nvidia-glx-legacy package,
however people like me, who don't have it installed anymore, can't
benefit from this correction.
So, if you think newer version of this package don't have this bug,
IMHO you can do 2 things:

1. close this bug and do nothing more unless too much people complain
(in which case, switch to point 2).  After all the problem was caused
by a (qestionable) testing package in a testing distribution.

2. close this bug in nvidia-glx-legacy (because you can't fix an issue
in systems where this package is not installed anymore) and act at
different levels.  For example I find it strange that dpkg doesn't
remove diversions when the diverting package is uninstalled: could
this be considered a bug to report?.  And maybe a hackish check in
xserver-xorg-core that tests eventual diversions for validity could be
considered.

Anyway, I don't have a preference, for me they're equally valid alternatives.

Thanks  for you work in Debian!
Ciao,
 Roberto Piscitello
