It'd be a good idea to set conflicts=() with the older nvidia/catalyst so that their xorg doesnt get upgraded, and thus their X isn't broken. That way we don't piss off a lot of people.
Maybe not a bad idea. But I would add a depends('xorg-server<1.5') to those drivers. And if some day those drivers work again we just have to update those.
You can use versioned conflicts, so you would not have to update the xorg-server package when a driver works again, because it will very likely be a newer version of it. But then it is not clear when it is safe to remove these conflict lines in xorg-server. So I agree that the depends way still looks nicer.
