Bug#918702: ITP: nvtop -- Interactive NVIDIA GPU process monitor

["M. Zhou" <cdluminate@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've installed this utility on my workstation and I'm glad to sponsor it.
Your packaging looks good except for the section field in d/control:

-Section: utils
+Section: contrib/utils

^ This is due to copyright issue of Nvidia drier or the CUDA toolkit.
Any software that depends on non-free package, even if itself is
licensed under some kind of free software license, have to enter the
contrib section[1].

And please add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to d/control.
Look up [2] for example.

I'll sponsor this package when the two mentioned problem get fixed.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian!
