[Bug 1268750] [NEW] software-properties does not recognize Nvidia Optimus hardware

[Sergio Benjamim]

Public bug reported:

Software-properties does not recognize Nvidia Optimus hardware, though
the system so.

The expected was to appear some options, like:

- nvidia driver + nvidia-prime
- nvidia driver + bumblebee

Or just some nvidia drivers (304, 304-updates, 331, 331-updates...), as
usual.
