Martin, the reason I filed this bug against ubuntu-drivers-common is that the behavior of this package's tests is at odds with proposed-migration. There is a new version of perl waiting to reach vivid, which causes ubuntu-drivers-common's tests to be run and report a failure because of a regression in a package that is *not* a dependency of ubuntu-drivers-common. perl, or other dependencies of ubuntu-drivers-common, shouldn't find themselves blocked because of a regression in an nvidia driver package; and testing that the nvidia dkms drivers can be built should happen /when the kernel package is updated/, which didn't happen here. The tests are currently happening in the wrong place to be useful for proposed-migration, and that should be fixed.
