I can confirm the same issue here.

After updating linux-generic to 6.2.0.25.25 my screen went black because
linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic does not exist and hence was
not installed.

I went back from nvidia-driver-535 to nvidia-driver-525 and now I can
safely apply updates to my system; apt will not update automatically
nvidia-driver-525 to nvidia-driver-535 but will update linux-generic to
newer versions.

Here are the relevant packages:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-525-generic
currently depends on
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-525-6.2.0-25-generic
but
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-generic
currently depends on
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-24-generic
and
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic
does not exist.

So basically the user must choose between a slightly older Linux kernel
(6.2.0-24.24) and or a slightly older NVIDIA driver version (525),
keeping in mind that apt will automatically install newer versions of
linux-generic.

This is a bit unfortunate because the latest NVIDIA driver version 535 brings 
some improvements with Wayland and removed annoying glitches in one application 
I use daily, Beyond Compare. I will have to be patient I guess.

Title:
  missing nvidia kernel module for generic kernel (linux-objects-
  nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic)

Status in linux-restricted-modules package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For latest generic kernel for Ubuntu 23.04 there in no package of kernel 
module.
  Present is for previous kernel:

  # aptitude search linux-objects-nvidia-535.*generic 
  i A linux-objects-nvidia-535-6.2.0-24-generic                        - Linux 
kernel nvidia modules for version 6.2.0-24 (objects)                
  p   linux-objects-nvidia-535-open-6.2.0-24-generic                   - Linux 
kernel nvidia modules for version 6.2.0-24 (objects)                
  p   linux-objects-nvidia-535-server-6.2.0-24-generic                 - Linux 
kernel nvidia modules for version 6.2.0-24 (objects)                
  p   linux-objects-nvidia-535-server-open-6.2.0-24-generic            - Linux 
kernel nvidia modules for version 6.2.0-24 (objects)

  There is no package for 6.2.0-25 kernel.
  So after upgrade to new kernel - gpu isn't working, as the module is missing.
