PS: I forgot to mention that the way Debian and Ubuntu handle PCI ID
matching seems to differ from upstream's intended method in some ways.
Since finding out about this, I have produced two proposed fixes, both
sitting in my PPA:

1) an updated -geode package that uses the Debian/Ubuntu-specific
method. This package also moves the backward-compatibility symbolic
links to the -amd transitional package, because they were found to cause
more hard than good, but might still be useful to people initially
upgrading from earlier Ubuntu releases that offered -amd.

2) an updated -nsc package that removes some PCI ID that conflict with
the -cyrix and -geode packages.

If accepted by the SRU team, I would propose that both be uploaded
together into hardy-proposed and released with hardy.1 ASAP.
