Reading the description in the changelog did not tell me why this was appropriate for SRU.

+ devices. (lp: #1990341)

You can obviously force install nvidia drivers on any device by using apt.

What this feature addition is actually about is allowing OEMs to locally extend the mapping of PCI IDs to drivers in a custom image. That's very different than what I understood from the changelog.

Changelog entries for SRUs are much more visible to users than changelog entries in devel, and while they will often be technical and not understood by all users, I think it's important that they at least be accurate.

I'm not rejecting this SRU, but I would like to see it reuploaded with a clearer changelog entry.
