I'm getting really off topic with this:

Above all: yes using hard links is nasty.

If you're having a single (or multiple fixed) GPU system then building multiple
drivers is a _very_ bad idea. If you're doing that for embedded systems then it
gets even worse. Thus having separate $driver subpackages makes no sense :-(

Using symlinks is brittle (not PRIME related). So you really don't want to ship
something based on it.
