[Bug 2091604] Re: nvidia-driver-535 got kept back

[Atlas Yu]

I am purposing adding a new option in apt.conf:

Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps-Kernel-Packages "false";

Install all packages in the "kernel" sections together instead of
splitting them into chunks to ensure the kernel installed is fully
functional.

Title:
  nvidia-driver-535 got kept back

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lenovo product assurance team spotted that unattended upgrade will
  make nvidia driver unusable.

  1. OEM kernel retired and now migrate to generic kernel which can be correctly upgraded by the unattended-upgrade.
  2. NVIDIA driver migrate from 515 to 535, but due to dependencies conflicts, it is kept back. 

  So the newly installed generic kernel do not have it's linux-modules-
  nvidia-* to load, which makes it not fully functional.
