Bug Description

Please make it easier to test hw-specific installer paths

Could you please add:
$ cat debian/modaliases
alias dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTESTNVIDIA:* meta oem-qemu-meta

modalias to the nvidia-graphics-drivers packages?

This would allow us to start qemu VM (as we do in automated testing) and depending on the qemu-vm smbios settings it will trick the installer into thinking that "oh yes, this machine needs nvidia l-r-m and all that yazz).

We already have dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTEST:* modalias that we use to test that the installer is in "certified OEM hardware mode" and enables OEM archives.

Although i think we might want an "SKU" alias for NVIDIA such that we can test with/without OEM as well as with/without NVIDIA.

Let me consult about the exact modalias to add.

Changed in nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 (Ubuntu):
