Title:
  obsolete drivers list may be out of date

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ubuntu-drivers-common provides a file named obsolete which is
  presumably a list of obsolete nvidia drivers. It doesn't seem to have
  been updated recently:

   $ ls -lh /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162 Jun 24  2011 /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  [  3:30PM 10459 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:/tmp/dist-upgrader ]
   $ cat /usr/share/ubuntu-drivers-common/obsolete
  nvidia-glx
  nvidia-glx-new
  nvidia-glx-legacy
  nvidia-glx-envy
  nvidia-glx-new-envy
  nvidia-glx-legacy-envy
  nvidia-glx-177
  nvidia-glx-71
  nvidia-glx-190
  nvidia-glx-195

  Does it in fact need updating?
