The upstream support for the Tesla 418 driver series is scheduled to end
in 03/2022: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/drivers/
It therefore cannot be released with bookworm.
The severity of this bug will be raised once we approach the bookworm freeze.

Hi,

Would it be possible to allow the newest version of this driver to
propagate to the current stable (bullseye)?
As I understand it the newest package in sid builds against recent kernels.
This is something the stable version of the package cannot do and therefore
cannot be made to work with kernels in backports.

Thanks,
Andrés
