I'm not sure, what this discussion is about. But as far as i know, you
could fix Nvidia drivers:

In bug Bug #1409190 I wrote:
    ROOT CAUSE: In kernel headers, a feature that nvidia code depends on, has 
been removed in kernel 3.19:
    
        $ diff linux-headers-3.18.0-13/include/linux/fs.h 
linux-headers-3.19.0-7/include/linux/fs.h | grep f_dentry
        < #define f_dentry f_path.dentry
    
    WORKAROUND: Make nvidia code live without that feature:
    
        $ sudo sed -i~ s/f_dentry/f_path.dentry/ 
/usr/src/nvidia-304-304.125/nv.c
        $ apt list --installed 'linux*' | cut -d / -f 1 | grep 3.19 | xargs 
sudo apt install --reinstall

But if you are after a set of tests, that don't get bugged about failing
packages, that's another kettle...
