Thank you for the review,

What's tricky about this package is that it's mirrored from some nvidia-
delivered recommendations which I hardened a little bit (not enough, as
I understand!). Still I'm trying to keep these not too far from what
NVIDIA says, because it's easier to maintain this way. That being said:

- The Depends are definitely a miss that I'll fix ASAP

- dgx-desktop-pro-activation is confirmed to be MIT by Ken, per
discussions with NVIDIA, so I'll make this one more in par with Ubuntu's
quality standards. I can improve it. But do you think I should entirely
remove it and do something in Subiquity instead? What we want is that
users get pro activated on these devices even if they installed a newer
ubuntu version from scratch in the future. NVIDIA burnt the pro token in
an EFI variable for that, but that's uncommon.

- dgx-desktop-docker-gpus.sh

I've never used generators before but yes, this feels less clunky than a
service that runs on every boot while not waiting on any other target.

- nvme-interrupt-coalescing.sh
Why not also a generator?

- zz_kdump-tools.cfg is meant to set the crashkernel memory to 0. 
linux-crashdump generates similar lines to reserve crashkernel memory 
dependending on the device's available RAM:
```
$ cat /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT 
crashkernel=2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M"
```
Nvidia wants it set to zero, and they want linux-crashdump to be installed by 
default on users machines. But since Ubuntu does not provide linux-crashdump by 
default, I can remove this binary package if you prefer.
