Bug#986670: Bug : nvidia driver requires linux 5 but dependency is not set in buster backports

Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 460.39-1~bpo10+1
When the driver is installed from the command:
apt install -t buster-backports nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree
It fails to load at reboot with a framebuffer error in Xorg.log
I solved the problem installing linux-image-5.10 since only the default linux 4.19 was installed while the driver seems compiled against linux 5.10
