high level comments first:
* the script is actually not installed with the package, because it's not
installed anywhere and not in any .install file
(you'd either have to use an 'install' target in the makefile to install it to
some folder
or use a .install file in the debian folder for the package to specify
which files should be installed
(see most of our other packages how they do it exactly)
* i'd like to go a bit further than this script.
What I'd have imagined is more like our 'pveceph' tool that can
include multiple commands, even if we might only have one or two for now
so e.g.
pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper install-prerequisites
pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper gpus list
pve-nvidia-vgpu-helper gpus enable-sriov
etc..
some of these (e.g. the sriov enablement) could even be interactive, but
something
like that could be done in the future.
thir
* not sure about that, but couldn't this be a rust binary?
i think we have everything we need already there.
It is not a requirement for this IMHO, but personally i tend to write new things
in rust these days.
* it would be very nice to also have some general prerequisites checked, maybe
as a separate command or all-in-one (does not matter much imo). For example
if iommu/vt-d/etc. is turned on and the cards are separated, if there are even
nvidia cards installed, etc.

imho i find that line a bit dangerous, because it'll overwrite user configs
with new default configs
AFAIU
Our approach to installs is that they can be interactive, so adding
'--force-confnew' is not a good idea
