Bug#1085242: nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470: EoL (07/2024) driver should not be released with trixie

[Peter B]

Hello,

Its disappointing that Nvidia won't provide better support for their 
products!

My understanding is that the GT710 needs this driver. Its still being 
sold as new;
https://www.cclonline.com/gt-710-2gd3h-lp-msi-geforce-gt-710-2gb-graphics-card/

Popcon shows around 800 users of this package.
I'm wondering if this removal should be mentioned in the Trixie release 
notes?

Would you consider orphaning the package, rather than removing it?

Regards,
Peter
