nvidia-glx: Package description is inaccurate re: supported hardware

[Chris Pimlott]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 1.0.7667-0ubuntu25.1
Severity: important


The package description indicates this package supports a number of 
older NVidia cards such as the TNT, TNT2, GeForce and Quadro families.  
However, according to the upstream documentation, this is no longer the 
case, as these drivers have been moved into nvidia-glx-legacy.  This 
makes it very confusing for the use when trying to install drivers for 
their NVidia card, as both packages claim (by their descriptions) to 
support the same cards.
