No man, if one had a system that was working and properly set up, and
after getting an update it is broken (or something that was correctly
configured gets misconfigured, or any configuration unnecessarily
changed at all), there is a bug.

We aren't supposed to "be sure to" anything. The updates should make
sure to not screw up a working system.

The bug should NOT be closed, unless a new one is opened for the issue
caused by the fix to this bug.

I am not going to waste my time reconfiguring my system every time a new
update comes out and screws up the settings that I already had to
manually fix.

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.
