[Bug 2126679] [NEW] FTBFS due to removal of nvidiadetection from ubuntu-drivers-common

[Dave Jones]

Public bug reported:

Currently, ubuntu-release-upgrader is FTBFS because part of d/rules
attempts to generate a tarball for dist-upgrader. This breaks when it
attempts to archive a broken symlink ("NvidiaDetector") which points to
a directory from the ubuntu-drivers-common package
("/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector") fomr which it was
removed in version 1:0.10.3 [1].

     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
    Milestone: None => ubuntu-25.10
