BTW, Alberto, please note that fglrx-installer-updates (and probably
other packages here) is currently blocked from being accepted into
precise-proposed by an existing SRU which is still pending verification
(2:9.000-0ubuntu0.1).  If you think this needs to be pushed to -proposed
before the existing SRU is verified, please reupload with
-v2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1 and contact a member of the SRU team directly to
have this accepted.

Title:
  jockey suggests not installable packages on renamed stack

Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui,
  because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core.

  For example:

  # LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on
  the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work
  on them. For example nvidia-current:

   nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
                    Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that 
won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable.
  I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of 
checking the video abi version.

  Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new
  xserver
