PS: I forgot to mention that the way Debian and Ubuntu handle PCI ID matching seems to differ from upstream's intended method in some ways. Since finding out about this, I have produced two proposed fixes, both sitting in my PPA:
1) an updated -geode package that uses the Debian/Ubuntu-specific method. This package also moves the backward-compatibility symbolic links to the -amd transitional package, because they were found to cause more hard than good, but might still be useful to people initially upgrading from earlier Ubuntu releases that offered -amd.
2) an updated -nsc package that removes some PCI ID that conflict with the -cyrix and -geode packages.
If accepted by the SRU team, I would propose that both be uploaded together into hardy-proposed and released with hardy.1 ASAP.
