+This is not the experimental nouveau driver for nVidia cards.
+
+It is a stub package that installs /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf,
+to prevent the nouveau dri module shipped with our kernel from preventing
+the nv driver and/or the binary nVidia driver from working.
+
+If you want to use nouveau, remove this package.
+
+Sorry if it interferes with anyone's xf86-video-nouveau package that they
+didn't get from us, but this seems like the best default. When a real
+xf86-video-nouveau package appears someday, installing it will remove
+the module blacklist file.
