Package: mate-optimus
Version: 20.10.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: raibo.quadrofus@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

The program that this package packages doesn't work 100% of the time,
and fails with an error about prime-select not existing when you try to use it any way.

It suggests the nvidia-prime package, which is required for it to work,
however nvidia-prime isn't packaged for Debian, only for Ubuntu. (Also,
there is an unresolved open wishlist item/similar to package nvidia-prime).

And the Ubuntu specific nvidia-prime package provides the required
prime-select tool.

This renders the program it packages completely unusable.
