nvidia-updates would also not fit the current schema. We have
nvidia-series{,-updates}, where "series" is "96", "173", "current",
or "experimental", and at least the first three can always come in an
-update flavour. So nvidia-updates would presumably be
nvidia-current-updates, but what do we do about nvidia-173-updates?

TBH I'd just keep them as they are.
