I don't know.  From the bits I've read, it sounds like Nvidia want to
release the CDUA toolkit more frequently, and improve compatibility.
So it wouldn't surprise me, if in the next update, the minimum version
remained 418.39 , but included a 430 series driver.

I haven't got my brain around the CUDA Compatiblity section yet, but
the CUDA Application Compatibility Support Matrix [1] seems to
indicate drivers >= 396.26 and >= 384.111 will be compatible with CUDA
10.1.  So perhaps we will need to reconsider how the dependencies in
our packages are expressed.
