I enabled proposed and updated.
During the upgrade I got a notification about "broken packages", but the
notification was removed.
After the upgrade System Settings/Software & Updates/Additional Drivers was
set to version 340.76 from nvidia-340-updates. However Nvidia X Server
Settings still said that the 331.113 driver was used.
Changed to version 346.82 from nvidia-346 (proprietary, tested).
The changed went OK and now Nvidia X Server Settings shows that the 346.82
driver is used.

Bug description:
  Filing this against the 340-updates version but possibly the same
  applies to older versions, too. The nvidia source package produces two
  individual dkms packages: nvidia-340-updates, nvidia-340-updates-uvm.
  The problem is that the DKMS build of the nvidia-uvm module runs
  compile steps inside the nvidia modules build directory. This is
  violating the DKMS assumption that each module can be build
  independently (there is no way of describing cross-modules
  dependencies and even more important, the autoinstall step after a new
  kernel is installed will run the modules build in parallel).

  Since nvidia and nvidia-uvm are very dependent on each other the right
  course of action seems to be to combine both sources in one DKMS
  module that produces two kernel modules (this is supported by DKMS).
  For the transition this resulting dkms package needs to have a
  breaks/replaces for the nvidia-uvm package.
