I spent a lot of time beating on the proposed Trusty nvidia-346
(346.82-0ubuntu0.2) and nvidia-340 (340.76-0ubuntu0.1) packages
yesterday, and things seem solid to me.

Package upgrade/downgrade paths I tested:

331 --> 340
331 --> 346
340 --> 346
346 --> 340

I tested that things work correctly re stopping nvidia-persistenced when
removing/purging 340/346, and I gave them my usually "does Unity seem to
work?" sanity check and ran the unigine-valley demo. Everything seems
good.

I also tested the upgrade from the 346.59 packages currently in the
System76 stable Trusty PPA, which although not of direct concern to
Ubuntu is something I still needed to check and also attests to the
overall correctness of these proposed packages. The upgrade from our
346.59 to the proposed 346.82 works swimmingly.

However, I'm not personally comfortable removing "verification-failed",
adding the "verification-done" tag as the one thing I couldn't test is
Optimus (as System76 doesn't sell any Optimus hardware).

Note I only tested nvidia-340/nvidia-346, didn't directly test
nvidia-340-updates/nvidia-346-updates. But AFAIK, the two flavors are
currently identical, so I'd expect the results to be the same.

Also note that I tested with the 3.16 and 3.19 kernels, but did not yet
test with the 3.13 kernel.

In summary: from my perspective, these proposed packages are good to go
after someone else can test on Optimus hardware and test under the 3.13
kernel (and I'll test with the 3.13 kernel tomorrow if I have a chance).

Thanks!

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]
  The nvidia packages in Ubuntu 14.04 do not support the backported kernel from 15.04.

  [Test Case]
  1) Enable the trusty-proposed repository, and install the "linux-generic-lts-vivid"

  2) Install one of the available nvidia packages or, if the nvidia
  driver is already installed, dist-upgrade after adding the -proposed
  repository.

  3) Restart and see if the system boots correctly. If unsure, please
  attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, the packages come from either wily or vivid.
