Somewhat orthogonal to your original question, but the Ubuntu nvidia packages have recently switched to using alternatives instead of diversions for managing the libgl bits for various reasons. It would be great if Debian and Ubuntu could get synced up on this... and maybe moving to alternatives solves the problem with moving diversions, since alternatives don't have the unpack ordering problem that diversions do.
