and the builds have just come in. I can release as early as tonight (19:52) but 
I don't know if that's a bit of a rush. Should I hang on until tomorrow evening 
in case of any late-breaking issues?

As a user facing this issue, I'd rather have the release as soon as possible. 
It's already been a couple days. But that's just a user perspective!

We also need to put some thought into an announcement text. Here's a draft 
starting point: ======= This update addresses problems in four non-free 
packages to support nVidia graphics cards. The Linux kernel update included in 
Debian 12.5 marked two functions as GPL-only, making them inaccessible to 
non-free kernel modules. As a result, the nVidia kernel modules cannot be built 
via DKMS at installation time for the updated kernel. This issue could not be 
resolved in time for the release of Debian 12.5. The following packages have 
been updated to correct the problem, as well as fixing detection of Tesla 470 
compatibility: Package Fixed version ======= ============== 
nvidia-graphics-drivers nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 nvidia-settings If you use the affected 
packages, we recommend you upgrade to these versions. ======= Feedback? Thanks,
