[ Reason ]
The Tesla 450 driver series has reached End of Life. I'd like to turn it
into transitional packages to ease switching to the Tesla 470 driver
series. We did the same with the Tesla 460 series after that reached EoL
last year. The 470 series supports a superset of GPUs, so this switch is
not a regression in terms of supported devices or features.

[ Impact ]
A proprietary EoL graphics driver with more CVEs open.

[ Tests ]
Only module building has been tested. Anything else would require
certain hardware and driver usage.

[ Risks ]
Low. The same changes have been applied to
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 last year.

[ Checklist ]
  [*] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [*] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [*] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
There are patches making the module compatible with recent kernels.
While these are not needed for oldstable or the transitional packages, I
don't want to deviate from what is in sid.
There are only minor additional packaging changes.

[ Other info ]
This is a rebuild of the package from sid with no further changes.
Ideally this is the last time we have to touch this package in oldstable
;-)
