This is not a package that is available from Debian. The newest Nvidia
proprietary driver packaged in Debian non-free is 550 (or 555 in
experimental but I wouldn't recommend that), which is already known to
be out of date (https://bugs.debian.org/1081302, etc.).

If you obtained the 610.57.04 driver directly from Nvidia, perhaps from
<https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/debian.html>,
please contact their support channels rather than Debian's. Debian does
not have any control over the driver provided by Nvidia.

Thanks,
