Indeed! That's one of the main reasons why I think that this (build-)dependency should be dropped from the Debian package. If the dependency has to be kept in the Ubuntu package, I think that maybe the situation may be handled using the tricks explained in http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/27/different-dependencies-between-debian-and-ubuntu-but-common-source-package/ http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/27/different-dependencies-between-debian-and-ubuntu-but-common-source-package/#comment-3628 http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/11/05/managing-distribution-specific-patches-with-a-common-source-package/ Cesare, what do you think about this possibility? > > I think that another compromise would be to show users how to replace > the nvidia variable with some exec variable.
