Bug Description
The nvidia packages in Ubuntu have a build-dep on execstack, as requested in bug #409456.
That bug was filed 13 years ago, about the fact that the upstream binaries were built with executable stack. They've been rebuilt a few times since then, and there are no longer any upstream binaries with an executable stack:
$ find NVIDIA-Linux/ -name *.so* | xargs -n1 readelf -lW | grep GNU_STACK.*E
$ readelf -lW NVIDIA-
$
So the current use of execstack is a no-op.
The execstack binary is built from prelink, which was dropped from Debian over a year ago.
Please drop this build-dependency from all the nvidia packages so that we can drop prelink from the archive.
