Hi Mario, just to follow up on this question... I've discussed this
with Alberto and we agree the 'nvidia-current-updates' package name is a
bit clumsy. However since we're planning on doing quite a bit with
package backports we think the least disruptive time to redo package
names is during 14.04 LTS development.
