3. move -video-nv to non-free, and remove the dependency from -video-all
(maybe add a Suggests instead).  This looks to me like the most
practical way to give users an upgrade path from the monolith (for users
of non-nvidia hardware, at least).  If this is chosen, something should
probably be added to the release notes to warn nv users.
