Please dont. My suggestion to use the pkg-nvidia-devel umbrella group was simply a mean of going thing going, not stopping them. I work within other umbrealla group and this help in situations such as (p-n-d makes it as easy chanel for discussion): - request DD upload from a DM - discussion on p-n-d@d.o on complex dependencies for package. If your package is a leaf in the dependency tree, then this does not apply to you. If you feel confidant, then please upload as-is.
