[Bug 1873867] Re: ubuntu-drivers changes kernel flavour when installing nvidia

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I am very happy with the new  ubuntu-drivers-common and l-r-m in
proposed! Installed all the right things, with latelink=false on the
host system, and latelink=true in target.

Just need all of these to migrate, respin, retest, ship.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

  I was expecting for it to pick linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-
  hwe-20.04 not linux-modules-nvidia-440-lowlatency-hwe-20.04

  As if it sorted things and picked last one?
