Ah!  It _does_ exist!

Having gone through the 173.xx before, and now 304xx with three separate boxes, this would be very nice, IMO.

As it was,  I had several packages that required nvidia-x11-drv installed, and had to reinstall them as well when 'crossgrading' from nvidia-x11-drv to nvidia-x11-drv-304xx and friends.
