Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

Currently libmyth-0.22-0 depends on nvidia specific bits and pieces:

Depends: ... nvidia-185-libvdpau

This is simply wrong.  I should not have to carry the burden of nvidia
drivers on my system and dkms having to rebuild them every time there is
an update on a machine that doesn't even have an nvidia card in it.

There should _never_ be hardware-specific dependencies in non-hardware
specific packages such as libmyth.

** Affects: mythtv (Ubuntu)
