[Bug 1442967] [NEW] [xorg-edgers] provide virtual nvidia-current driver

 

Public bug reported:

Default settings of applications like `bumblebee` depend on a `nvidia-
current` driver. It'd be great if `nvidia-xyz` would provide a virtual
driver `nvidia-current` like the Ubuntu packages for `nvidia-xyz` do.
