I just debugged this and it turns out that nvidia-common is doing the following
in
NvidiaDetection.__init__():
...
if not os.path.isdir(datadir):
print 'none'
logging.debug("dir %s not found" % datadir)
# Exit without an error exit status
# so as not to compromise dist-upgrades
# if the modaliases are not installed.
exit(0)
...
This is not the right thing to do when a object is imported by other
applications (like in this case where nvidia-detector is imported by
update-manager).
