That didn't manage to remove them, so I did a bit of research. It
turns out that the deinstall entries in that listing are packages
that are no longer installed because when the dpkg --get-selections
command is run with any kind of pattern after it (in this case, the
pattern is | grep nvidia), the output includes packages that have
already been uninstalled. I verified that by doing a search for some
of those packages in Muon and they''re not being installed, so all of
them can be ignored.
