Dear debian team, 

I just discovered the "nividia-legacy-340xx"-packages in debian sid. 

However, as they were in buster, but NOT in bullseye, NOR in bookworm, I 
wonder, if there is a chance, they will transfer from testing to bookworm some 
day. 

I tested them on bookworm, and they built (what a pleasent surprise!!), but I 
could not load them on actual bookworm kernel 6.1.0.9. Ok, this might be, that 
some other libs needed by the driver, are incompatible, because they need libs 
from sid, but that does not matter for me.

My question is more: Will these packages be transferred to testing some day 
and then from testing to stable? Or will they (when transferred to testing) 
NEVER be transferred to stable (until the next big release, of course).

What is the policy with those (unfree and third party packages )and what are 
the chances at all? 

Thanks for your help, oh and thank you for the people, who got this package 
buildable!

Best regards

Hans
