you will likely run into another issue when shipping the nvidia driver
... it actually replaces all the GL/GLES libraries with its own:

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/|grep gl_
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  34 Okt 24  2017 i386-linux-gnu_egl_conf ->
/usr/lib/nvidia-384/alt_ld.so.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  34 Okt 24  2017 i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf ->
/usr/lib/nvidia-384/alt_ld.so.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  30 Okt 24  2017 x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf ->
/usr/lib/nvidia-384/ld.so.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  30 Jul  7 12:18 x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf ->
/usr/lib/nvidia-384/ld.so.conf

you might need some hackery here to adjust the alternatives dynamically
based on if there is a nvidia card in the system or not ...

you might want to take a look at the postinst/postrm scripts of the
nvidia package how they are set/unset
