So let me see if I understand correctly.

You do an update which is going to upgrade nvidia and then linux-
headers.  If linux-headers is not installed when nvidia is processed,
the nvidia build would (and should) fail.  In this case nvidia should be
set to depend on linux-headers so it only gets processed after linux-
headers.

But in the case that you do have an older linux-headers installed,
nvidia will be built against *that*.  Then linux-headers gets updated to
a new (incompatible) version.  Yet in this case, you should still have a
properly built nvidia module, no?  I guess I'm not understanding why the
nvidia build would be failing in this case.

Also, what script generates the output shown in the description of this
report?  I grepped through the nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 source
package but didn't see it.  Is it from dkms directly?
