** Description changed:

- install with --gpgpu is broken and no longer installs linux-modules-
- nvidia, only nvidia-driver-no-dkms-<series>. This makes the system
- unusable as the actual kernel module is not present but headless-no-dkms
- package will satisfy ubuntu-driver's dependency search so subsequent
- calls to install a driver will do nothing.
