As with the other updates which will need to go through NEW, if this

only *-tesla-450 and nvidia-modprobe are fully independent from the
other updates
We could do the update of nvidia-graphics-drivers/470.103.01 in two stages:
* deb11u1 with libnvidia-nvvm4 disabled (there are no rdepends),
avoiding NEW + all the other */470.* (but not *-tesla-470/*) updates
* deb11u2 with libnvidia-nvvm4 enabled, going through NEW, s.t. the
driver does not differ feature wise from 470 elsewhere
If libnvidia-nvvm4 doesn't make it through NEW in time, we only lose an
"optional" package but are still able to update the whole stack to 470.
Should this update wait for the nvidia-*-tesla-470 packages to be
available? I realise the drivers are only in Suggests, so I guess it
should be fine, but just wanted to confirm.
The two *-tesla-470 source packages need to go in together, but the rest
of the stack does not have to wait for them. The only dependency is to
have nvidia-modprobe/470.* first ;-)
Once we have *-tesla-470, I'll come with an update for *-tesla-460 to
turn it into transitional packages switching to *-tesla-470 (first test
uploaded a few days ago to sid)
