Hello, I've tested the focal-proposed versions of nvidia-driver-450-server- generic and nvidia-470-server-generic, and the changes look good. Thanks!

[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.
