Bug Description

It would be very helpful for automation to have a metapackage that always installs the latest linux-modules-nvidia-$VER-server and nvidia-kernel-common-$VER-server packages.

For example, something like linux-modules-nvidia-server-generic could point to the 460 versions of those drivers (the most recent major release) and down the road it would move to a later major version of the drivers.

For the record, for my needs the following seem to be what I have to have installed currently using our hosted packaging of the 460 version of the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu Server to run some compute tests in docker containers.

nvidia-kernel-common-460-server
linux-modules-nvidia-460-server-generic > linux-modules-nvidia-460-server-5.4.0-67-generic
nvidia-utils-460-server
libnvidia-compute-460-server
libnvidia-cfg1-460-server
