Splitting the Nvidia driver into so many packages would require a major
rework of the packaging. I fixed the dependencies and build dependencies
of nvidia-cuda-toolkit instead.

Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04
nvidia-graphics-drivers 295.20-0ubuntu1
In Ubuntu, nvidia-graphics-drivers package provides only nvidia-
current and nvidia-current-dev, while the Debian's package provides
many separated deb packages as follows:
libcuda1
libcuda1-dev
libcuda1-ia32
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives-ia32
libgl1-nvidia-glx
libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32
libglx-nvidia-alternatives
libnvidia-compiler
libnvidia-compiler-ia32
libnvidia-compiler1
libnvidia-compiler1-ia32
nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx-dev
nvidia-glx-ia32
nvidia-kernel-dkms
nvidia-kernel-source
nvidia-libopencl1
nvidia-libopencl1-dev
nvidia-libopencl1-ia32
nvidia-libvdpau-dev
nvidia-libvdpau1
nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32
nvidia-opencl-common
nvidia-opencl-icd
nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32
nvidia-smi
nvidia-vdpau-driver
nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32
So, some packages imported from Debian cannot be built or not
installable unless their dependencies are modified. For example,
nvidia-cuda-toolkit is failed to build because of missing libcuda1.
See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-cuda-
toolkit/4.0.17-3/+build/3079987 .
I think the separate packages should be provided as in Debian and
nvidia-current and nvidia-current-dev should be changed to meta
packages which depend on those separate packages.
