Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This release demotes nvidia-settings and nvidia-prime from "Recommends"
  to "Suggests" dependencies for the -server NVIDIA drivers, for the following 
reasons:

  - The Ubuntu default behavior is to install "recommended" packages.
  - The -server packages are associated with TRDs, which are generally used on 
Tesla GPUs, which are generally used on servers.
  - nvidia-settings pulls in many GUI bits which are generally not relevant to 
servers.

  
  [Test Case]
  Installing the main metapackage should be possible without pulling in
  the two above mentioned dependencies.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, as no change other than dropping the two dependencies is involved.
