Description:
The libva package has libva-vdpau-driver as an optional dependency, but the description ("backend for Nvidia and AMD GPUs") is not entirely correct.
libva-vdpau-driver is the VA-API -> VDPAU translation layer that is only needed by the proprietary NVIDIA driver. VA-API drivers for AMD and the open-source Nouveau are in the libva-mesa-driver package.
