We will also need to ensure master kernels have updated dkms-build and
dkms-build--nvidia-N as we will sync those into the new linux-
restricted-modules packages and break them.

Title:
LRMv4: switch to signing nvidia modules via the Ubuntu Modules signing
key
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
To allow decoupling of nvidia-graphics-drivers-<version> streams and
versions from the underlying kernel versions we wish to be able to
sign new kernel modules into an existing kernel after the fact. Under
bug #1898716 we added support for an Ubuntu Modules signing key
certificate. Rebuild the LRM package to make use of this new
signature.
This involves splitting the LRM package into three. linux-restricted-
modules first builds the nvidia-graphics-drivers-* we require signed.
linux-restricted-generate then consumes the .o's produced in that
build and forms a signing custom binary upload for this. linux-
restricted-signatures then consumes the signing result from the LRG
upload and expresses clean redistributible signatures which are
consumed by LRM at installation time. LRG must be embargoed as it
(necessarily) generates fully formed .ko files for signing.
Additional process is added to the kernel build life-cycle to handle
the privacy requirements of the LRG/LRS interaction.
