Hello,
The Nvidia settings app is not in the siduction nvidia-driver package and the one available is for 550 series in Debian. Can the Nvidia settings app be built for using the 580 driver? Trying to install the nvidia-driver-full package breaks due to the missing nvidia-settings for the 580 driver.
Output for attempt to install the full metapackage:
~$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-full

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

Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
1. nvidia-driver-full:amd64=580.95.05-0tux1 is selected for install
2. nvidia-driver-full:amd64=580.95.05-0tux1 Depends nvidia-settings (>= 580)
but none of the choices are installable:
[no choices]
And why you want nvidia-driver-full ( i know the missing packages)?
Normaly apt install nviidia-driver is enough for most users.

I was looking for the matching nvidia-settings package so I searched and tried the -full metapackage.
