Then answer yes, instead of no, so that it can do the cleanup... or have
you already tried that and it didn't work?

It has found traces of the official NVIDIA packages on your system, which
usually end up conflicting with the Debian packages sooner or later in
weird ways that are hard to debug.  This dependency is there to ensure
that doesn't happen by cleaning all traces of the manually-installed
NVIDIA packages from your system when installing the Debian packages.
