The idea with the libvdpau-driver was for it to depend on the multiple
implementations of the vdpau driver that may exist. It would have a Depends
field like.
Depends: ati-libvdpau1-driver |
intel-libvdpau1-driver |
. . .
nvidia-libvdpau1-driver [amd64 i386]
In this way, only one package (libvdpau-driver) has to be updated when a new
vdpau driver implementation is available, rather than updating however many
packages that may depend on libvdpau1.
