Public bug reported:
The nvidia-driver-* packages have a Recommends on nvidia-settings.
Installing them w/ recommends enabled therefore ends up bringing in the
whole X stack, including gdm3. gdm3 will do things like suspend systems
if the login screen is idle - not behavior server users would expect.
The description for nvidia-settings suggests it is only applicable for
graphics configuration. Therefore, would it make sense to remove the
nvidia-settings recommendation from the nvidia-driver-*-server packages,
which are more oriented for server class hardware?
** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-460-server (Ubuntu)
