Title:
"ubuntu-drivers install" needs to be used when installing nvidia-
driver if enabling "third-party packages"
Status in OEM Priority Project:

Fix Released
Bug description:
ubiquity calls
```
ubuntu-drivers install $FREEONLY $NOOEM --package-list
/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall
```
to generate package list during live system but "ubuntu-drivers install" not
only install packages but also create some config files for switching nvidia
mode (e.g. on-demand) and change the runtime config as well (e.g. modify the
iniramfs).
Thus, not only package list needs to be referred but also the
configuration.

In ubuntu-drivers-common, which read the "/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall" to
install package. It also skipping the nvidia-mode changing (made by
ubuntu-drivers install).
```
$ cat ubiquity/target-config/31ubuntu_driver_packages
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# install all packages that "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" installed into the
# live system. Ubiquity calls this with --package-list
/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall
PKGLIST=/run/ubuntu-drivers.autoinstall
[ -e $PKGLIST ] || exit 0
for p in `cat $PKGLIST`; do
apt-install $p
done
```

We need to use a same approach to make sure the nvidia mode is same on
a same system (either all handing by ubuntu-drivers install or change
the logic to maintainer script in each package).
