** Description changed:

  Currently, having different nvidia modules for the same kernel ABI is
  allowed. For example, both linux-modules-nvidia-450-5.4.0-66-generic and
  linux-modules-nvidia-460-5.4.0-66-generic can be installed at the same
  time. This can cause systems to boot using the wrong kernel modules.
  
- A simple fix is to make the modules conflict/replace/provide a virtual
- package such as linux-modules-nvidia-5.4.0-66-generic.
+ We should make sure to have the linux-nvidia ABI packages depend on the
+ correct userspace, as we already do for the linux-nvidia metapackages.
