Just validated on Eoan that this package properly sets up linux/nvidia/latelink
true via debconf-get-selections.
The ubuntu-drivers-common package fixes has not yet published to Eoan. So,
end-to-end validation will not be possible until an updated
ubuntu-drivers-common and linux-modules-nvidia* is published.
As it is, this behavior paves the way for the
ubuntu-drivers-common/linux-modules-nvidia package features.
