Public bug reported:

ubuntu-drivers install --gpgpu should use a DKMS fallback when no linux-
modules-nvidia package is available.

Currently, we do not deal with this kind of failure i.e. when no linux-
modules-nvidia package is available for the kernel in use. If no such
package can be found, we need to at least attempt installing the
relevant DKMS package, so that users get the required kernel modules.
