I didn't have to recast anything to get my keyboard/mouse back, but rather
redo
my xorg.conf. ;)

I found why libwfb is always being overwritten. In nvidia_driver/INSTALL:
ln -sfn "$X_MOD/libnvidia-wfb.so.${VERSION/-/.}" \
"$X_MOD/libwfb.so" &&

I'll fiddle with it a bit and change it to:
if [[ ! -f "$X_MOD/libwfb.so" ]]; then
ln -sfn "$X_MOD/libnvidia-wfb.so.${VERSION/-/.}" \
"$X_MOD/libwfb.so"
fi &&

I'll see if that works fixes nvidia_driver working without manual intervention
(e.g. restoring /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so).

Casting mesalib and then xorg-server has xorg-server cast fine, and triggers
nvidia_driver.

Bug #13484 is where the libwfb and libnvidia-wfb files were added to
installation.

Hrm, removing our installation of libwfb entirely, nvidia_driver *still*
overwrites it with a symlink.
