  - Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
    uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
  - Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
    all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
    which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).
  - Make it possible to add card ids to the modaliases by
    adding ids in debian/additional_card_ids.
* debian/additional_card_ids:
  - Add support for card id 0dfc.
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.README.Debian.in:
  - Document how to use the additional_card_ids file.

  - Share the same name for grub's blacklist file for all
    drivers.
* debian/rules:
