This remains broken in ubuntu-drivers. There is absolutely no difference between what is installed when doing

ubuntu-drivers install

and

ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu

but significant difference when using

ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:470-server

the first two install exactly the same package set and the latter installs a much smaller subset.

If you actually expect that the first two install the exact same package set, why does --gpgpu exist in the first place? If the expectation is that --gpgpu means VER-server, then this remains broken since last year. And if the expectation exists in the middle, then perhaps we need a --gpgpu-server to install the packages from the last example?

I guess the first question for this bug is "What EXACTLY is expected when installing using --gpgpu" and then "how do we resolve this bug"
