Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-xconfig

nvidia-xconfig is now included in the nvidia-glx-* packages. Since we don't take the nvidia packages from Debian, we will not need to worry about new nvidia packages depending on nvidia-xconfig. nvidia-xconfig also does not have any rdepends. As a result, I feel it is safe to remove both the source and binary packages for nvidia-xconfig from the jaunty repositories.

Hi,

Alberto agrees that this is a good idea, and my checks agree that it is ok to
remove. Please go ahead, and blacklist the package as well.

Thanks,

James
