Bug#1070764: nvidia-alternative: Is nvidia-alternative missing conflicts nvidia-tesla-470-alternative

Package: nvidia-alternative

Dear Maintainer,

I have a system with an older NVidia tesla card in it and nvidia-detect
recommended the tesla-470 driver.

unfortunately for me I'm having a bunch of trouble getting the right mix
of nvidia driver and libraris installed. I've been having trouble
keeping the 525 version uninstalled while getting the 470 version
installed.

One thing I noticed on nvidia-alternative was a long list of conflicts
that skips over nvidia-tesla-470-alternative. I was wondering if that
was an oversight (and if maybe there were some more conflicts missing.

Here's the output of apt show nvidia-alternative. This is on a system that
was just upgraded from 11 to 12.
