Details

If nvidia was added in the `provides` array it would solve the issue that packages which require nvidia prompt me to install the nvidia package, which would break my setup. For example, Fermi cards are not supported by the latest nvidia driver.

This already works with a package such as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-96xx-dkms/ because of the `provides` array
This task depends upon
