nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx is now uploaded, (tested with some old
GTX770…)
A procedural question:
For the remaining CVE's (and those of nvidia-graphics-drivers), do I mark them
"end-of-life" (e.g by saying in CVE/list:
[buster] - nvidia-graphics-drivers <end-of-life> (EOL in buster LTS)
or just ignore them?
