Bug description:
When upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 using `update-manager -d`, the
`nvidia-375` DKMS modules are not compiled for the new kernel.
The result is that the user must run `apt install --reinstall
nvidia-375` and reboot.
To reproduce this:
- Clean install of 16.10 on a system with NVIDIA graphics
- Install `nvidia-375`
- Run `update-manager -d`, complete all steps, then reboot
- You will be unable to login until running `apt install --reinstall
nvidia-375`
