Bug#1031228: nvidia-driver: Broken dependencies

Hello,
I'm having the same problem. Apparently the cause is the lack of
firmware-nvidia-gsp, which is now a virtual package:

# apt install nvidia-driver
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-kernel-dkms : Depends: firmware-nvidia-gsp (= 525.85.12) but it is
not installable or
                               firmware-nvidia-gsp-525.85.12 but it is not
installable
# apt install firmware-nvidia-gsp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package firmware-nvidia-gsp is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'firmware-nvidia-gsp' has no installation candidate

Is it really obsolete, and in this case it should not be in the dependency
tree of nvidia-driver, or is it just to be released?
