Hi,

I'd like to update nvidia-graphics-drivers/non-free to a new upstream
release to fix CVE-2022-21813, CVE-2022-21814.
Since the 460 driver series seems to be EoL now, we need to switch to
the 470 series (supported until 07/2024), which supports a superset of
the GPUs supported by the 460 drivers. The first 470 release was only a
few days before the bullseye release and therefore too late to migrate
in time. (The 495 and later releases drop again support for some ancient
cards (and therefore I won't consider them for bullseye-pu), leaving
the legacy support in the 470 series).

It comes with a few packaging changes:

There is a new B-D: libnvidia-egl-wayland1 - we use the library built
from source instead of the one bundled with the blob.

There is a new binary package: libnvidia-nvvm4

This binary package was removed: libegl1-nvidia, leftover from the
non-glvnd packages and no longer usable. It was still installable, but
not along the other driver components. Consequently, some non-glvnd
alternatives have been dropped as well. (nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd
only existed up to the 418 series)

The tesla-440 driver is no longer in the archive (and was not in
bullseye), dropping it from alternatives.

There are some files with large pci id lists being added: two are used
by nvidia-detect for the 470 driver (debian/detect/*.ids), the other
are for maintainer convenience to document the EoL GPU models
(debian/end-of-life-*)

A new conffile (nvidia-options.conf) is being added to show in a working
way how to load the module with custom options set. (The existing one
from nvidia-kernel-support did not take into account our weird way of
module renaming for co-installability.)

Not to forget the usual patch and lintian refresh. Some ancient history
was added to the changelog to better document kernel support backporting
that happened for legacy drivers.

If you have more questions, please let me know.


This update will also require updates to
  nvidia-modprobe (versioned Depends)
  nvidia-setting (versioned Recommends)
  nvidia-xconfig (keep mayor version in sync)
  nvidia-persistenced (keep major version in sync)
