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.
