Hello. I am unsure which package is it related to and how to properly
summit a bug report. I think it may be nvidia-drivers,
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia or nvidia-kernel-dkms.

I am running stretch. Yesterday I was updating the packages (900+),
including xserver, kernel (4.3 -> 4.6) and nvidia-drivers
After reboot, the screen was black. After some time I realized that this
is a problem with nvidia modules - they name changed so there is a
-current- in the middle of the name.

The solution was available in /etc/nvidia/nvidia-modprobe.conf, however
it was not linked/copied to /etc/modprobe.d/ and no information about
need to link it by hand was provided

Sincerely
JKulpa

Hi, Janusz:

% dpkg -S nvidia-modprobe.conf
nvidia-kernel-support: /etc/nvidia/current/nvidia-modprobe.conf

so since the file is owned by "nvidia-kernel-support", I would submit
the bug against it.
