** Description changed:

  I installed the latest nvidia display driver for my GTX-460 video card.
- In order to boot, I need to disable the nouveau model.  I do this
- manually by adding:
+ I downloaded the driver from the nvidia site.  In order to boot, I need
+ to disable the nouveau kernel module.  I do this manually by adding:
  
  "nouveau.modeset=0" to the GRUB kernel boot line.
  
  I am trying to remove the actual nouveau and related packages so that I
  need not manually disable at boot time.  However, when I attempt to
  remove the "libdrm-nouveau1a" package using Synaptic, I am asked to mark
  well over a hundred packages for removal.  If these packages were
  removed it would render the system unusable.  Some examples of the
  packages that will be removed:
  
  acpi-support
  agave
  aisleriot
  alsa-base
  apparmor
  compiz
  cron
  evolution
  gdm
  many of the X related binaries
  update-manager
  
  Something is either wrong with the package dependency check or half the
  system lists "libdrm-nouveau1a" as the only dependent package.
  
  Anyway, how can I remove this "libdrm-nouveau1a" package?
