Another issue with the 6.2.0-25 kernel is in linux-modules-nvidia-525-generic:
Provides: nvidia-dkms-525 (= 525.116.04-0ubuntu0.23.04.1), nvidia-prebuilt-kernel

But nvidia-driver-525 Depends: nvidia-dkms-525 (>= 525.125.06)

So the "dkms replacement" version provided by the pre-built modules package is outdated. So it's currently impossible to install the nvidia-driver-525 package (I'm not sure if that package is strictly needed, it's probably just a metapackage to make updates work correctly) with the prebuilt modules. It will always try to get rid of the prebuilt modules and install dkms instead.

This has been going on for some time now.

It looks like it might be correct in the -proposed packages, but I have only looked at the .deb file contents superficially.
