Stuff related to nvidia-cg cannot be built using only tools in main so
in this case the Build-Depends cannot be satisfied by only packages in
main and therefore the nvidia-cg related stuff needs to be moved to a
separate source package. A good way around this is to port to GLSL,
IIRC the nVidia drivers translate GLSL to the nVidia Cg stuff.
