@juliank In the case of basic packages that only update themselves or
perhaps a few dependencies, I would agree, but the NVIDIA GPU driver
case specifically involves so many package changes for a standard update
that I don't think it's unreasonable to give a more explicit hint
(especially since there are many many people out there, in my
experience, who often blindly `apt upgrade` rather than `full-upgrade`
without really knowing the difference).

I also think that, if a person is deliberately running `upgrade` for
some specific reason, they will understand their reason enough to simply
disregard our suggestion.

FWIW it is also the position of NVIDIA's DGX Spark team that this is
what they would prefer from a product standpoint (so even if this SRU is
rejected and we don't include it for all NVIDIA GPU driver users, we may
still be asked to deliver it to Spark users via the Spark PPA - just
FYI)
