Currently `trixie-backports` contains the kernel v6.17.8 and `nvidia-graphics-
drivers_550.163.01-4~bpo13+1`, so Nvidia proprietary kernel modules compile
correctly. However version `550.163.01-4` of `nvidia-open-gpu-kernel-modules`
was not backported, so when users issue `apt-get -t trixie-backports install
nvidia-open-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree` version
`550.163.01-2` is pulled, that fails to compile on kernels 6.17.x. If
`unstable` repos are also enabled, then `apt-get install -t trixie-backports
nvidia-open-kernel-dkms/unstable nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree` works
fine.

PS: I usually only do the initial backport of a driver package to a new
stable release after someone specifically asked for it, i.e. there is a
potential user for that backport. Further updates might come
semi-automatically, but don't hesitate to ask it I missed it.

Many thanks for the quick resolution! :)
I've allowed myself to CC you on another wishlist bug related to Nvidia drivers.

Thank you so much again!
