Hi,

I'd like to upgrade the "current" nvidia driver in sid from the 460 to
the 470 series. The 470 series was promoted to release state with the
CVE fixes last week.

The 460 series is a production branch with update support for 1 year.
The 470 series is (supposed to be) a long term support branch with
updates for 3 years.
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-470-Ends-Kepler
So we will be switching to 470 during the lifetime of bullseye anyway,
therefore let's better start there right away.
Post-470 nvidia plans to drop support for some ancient cards, so it is
very unlikely that we will switch to a post-470 driver in bullseye.
In previous stable releases we also sticked to such a long term support
branch once we had reached it (390 in stretch, 418 in buster)

nvidia-graphics-drivers and nvidia-settings (and an older 470 version of
nvidia-modprobe) are already available in experimental. The other ones
are quickly uploadable to sid, too. The packages need to be kept in sync
at the major version to avoid confusion.

Anyway, I'd like to see 460.91.03-1 migrate first before I upload 470.*
to sid.

(there are intentionally no diffs attached, yet)

unblock nvidia-graphics-drivers/470.57.02-2
unblock nvidia-settings/470.57.02-2
unblock nvidia-modprobe/470.57.02-1
unblock nvidia-persistenced/470.57.02-1
unblock nvidia-xconfig/470.57.02-1
