Public bug reported:
The nvidia-fs prebuilt module linux-modules-nvidia-fs-5.15.0-ABIN-
nvidia(-lowlatency) packages provide nvidia-fs-dkms. The linux-
nvidia(-lowlatency) meta packages depend on either the latest linux-
modules-nvidia-fs-5.15.0-ABIN-nvidia(-lowlatency), or "nvidia-fs-dkms"
as an alternative. This results in the nvidia-fs prebuilt modules both
not being upgraded when a new version of the package is released, and
not being installed if another nvidia kernel flavour is installed.
Resolve this by removing "nvidia-fs-dkms" as an alternative dependency
for the linux-nvidia(-lowlatency) meta packages. We can fall back on
DKMS to decide which modules take precedence if both the nvidia-fs-dkms
package and the prebuilt nvidia-fs modules are installed.
