Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-common
Nvidia-Common installs the file /usr/lib/
Since most users have Jockey-Common, if the file was in that package, it would stop nearly all users from casually damaging their systems by using the nvidia-installer. Additionally, the script can be overridden, without removing Jockey-Common.

Actually I don't understand the request here. jockey-common already recommends nvidia-common, which means that nvidia-common is installed by default. As far as I understand the bug, the script should be installed by default, which is already the case. So why would it be better in jockey-common?
