That looks pretty easy, and having a dependency on pci-utils can be arranged (we might already have this). So what possible combinations should we handle: * no nvidia: no debconf * nvidia + intel + laptop: * bumblebee installed: no debconf * bumblebee not installed: new debconf recommending bumblebee * remaining nvidia: old debconf prompt: you need to configure manually Could you suggest some wording for the template? Also we should update README.Debian for Optimus systems - could you suggest some paragraphs? > I guess we could check for optimus systems in a similar > manner somewhere in postinst, and then just avoid triggering the > nvidia-support/create-nvidia-conf template? create-nvidia-conf is not active, it was a test from me, but never activated. > (First email ever using my @debian.org address, yippee! ;) Welcome!
