Also, nvclock-gtk suggests "install the Nvidia drivers" if run without root!

I see what happened. If you look in the debian/control file they changed the description slightly which I didn't test against.

Now it says "NVIDIA-based" instead of "nVidia chip based" which brought "the" from the sed statement onto the previous line causing it to fail. Again I will look more into it when I go back home.

Marking this as "needs work".

If you look at the taranis or dagda versions the patch works but not for the brigantia version of the package. I will look at this when I get home.
