For now, please add something like the following to the release notes:

"""
Due to the improvements in boot speed, in some upgrades Ubuntu may boot into graphics mode before it has finished installing the nvidia kernel module for the 2.6.31 kernel.  This race condition can result in the graphics failing to start, leaving the user at a blank or blinking screen, or in the low graphics failsafe.  In some cases a simple reboot will restore the system.  An alternative work around is to log into a console and run the command `sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-185-kernel-source`.

-- 
nvidia drivers 185.xx compile into kernel 2.6.28 instead of 2.6.31 on update from jaunty to karmic
