Looking forward a few months, I'd like to not have this bug open after
Lucid.  I think we need to come to a decision on it and either implement
it for the LTS, or else decide to stay with the current system and close
this bug.

This would be a pretty significant change, so might be a bit ambitious
for an LTS (really, I guess we should have done it in karmic, but way
too late now) but the benefit in terms of making it easier for users to
switch between drivers could well be worth it.  I think doing this post-
LL would be detrimental since it would inhibit being able to backport
patches, drivers, etc. to the LTS, so if we do not implement it for LL I
think we should just decide not to do it (at least, not until the next
LTS-1).

I'm not 100% certain how to undertake this change, as it is a touch
beyond my packaging-fu, but Mario I assume you'll be at the UDS in
Dallas?  Would you like to work out an implementation plan for it there?
