EOLing nvidia-graphics-drivers for bullseye?



Hi,

I was triaging nvidia-graphics-drivers, as they have a few CVEs open.

However, the version in bullseye, version 470.256.02, is no longer
supported by nvidia (since July 2024) and there simply not enough
information available to actually fix the issues.  

Therefore I'd suggest to drop support for nvidia-graphics-drivers and
add it to debian-security-support.

(3 CVEs are fixed in the *tesla* version, 
src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470, 470.256.02-1~deb11u2, of the same
driver, and as the driver source seems to be identical with the non
tesla one, its possible that those are already fixed in bullseye as
well; I've reached out to the maintainer to clarify if this is indeed
the case or if I missed something.)

Possibly that means that src:nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 should
be added to debian-security-support to indicate that we cant support
that either.

Appreciating any feedback ;-)
