Hi,
Surely "Closes:" is very convenient, but wouldn't you agree that this
puts the users of Stable at a disadvantage?
Well, "stable" means old software with old bugs. Those who want the new
bugs, which are introduced by fixing the old ones, have to run something
else.
Then why "nvidia-driver" in Stable was switched from previous
"460.91.03-1" version to "470.129.06-6~deb11u1"?

This change made my system unstable, causing it to freeze sporadically
with "Xid" error in syslog.
kernel: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:01:00:
GPU-7565947f-d476-7159-d106-172c793521e6
kernel: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 8, pid=2039, Channel 00000010
And now I can't perform an easy enough downgrade to last working version.
Freezes are only happening with 470.xxx versions of the "nvidia-driver",
every other versions up to 460.91.03 worked flawlessly.

Should I file a new bug?
If so, what is the best way to do it, if the last freeze happened 4 days
ago, according by timestamps in syslog, and now I plan to downgrade the
driver to be able to use full capabilities of my PC?
