I believe the fix for u-d-c is landed in jammy-updates for a long?

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They
come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for
datacenter GPUs:
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/
Currently, this is only production-ready (and enabled) on
datacenter GPUs.
* We should enable signed modules for the 515-open drivers, giving
users the option to try the drivers.
* The ubuntu-drivers tool should set a lower priority for the -open
flavour, so that we do not end up recommending it over the plain 515
flavour.
[ Test Plan ]
* [ubuntu-drivers-common]:
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install (to make sure the driver is not installed by
default)"
* [nvidia driver]
"sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515-open" to make sure that the
driver can be installed manually.
Please make sure that this installs the correct linux-restricted-
modules.
Note: support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is alpha-quality,
and is disabled by default. This means that desktop testing is not
needed at the moment.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This adds a new driver combination, which is not meant to be default, and
is only enabled for a limited amount of devices (datacenter GPUs).
* We need to be sure that the driver is not recommended over the other
drivers.
