Public bug reported:
Right now installing `nvidia-driver-4(4|5)0-server` (ubuntu/multiverse)
will install the entire gnome-shell stack which pulls in a lot of IMHO
unrelated and unwanted software including printer services, input
drivers, pulseaudio, and more graphical things normally not desired to
be on a headless server.
While install with `--no-install-recommends` works as expected, it
doesn't include decode/encode libs and extra other libraries normally
expected from a full install.
I think it would be appropriate to move `nvidia-settings`, `nvidia-
prime`, and other recommended packages depending on graphical components
to the suggested section.
Ubuntu 20.04.1
