Bug Description

./softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:

            if driver_status == 'recommended':
                base_string = _("{base_description} ({licence}, tested)")

That's wrong. ubuntu-drivers-common does not have a concept of "tested" vs "untested", that was from the Jockey era where we allowed third-party repositories. "recommended" is for telling the user which of the umpteen NVidia versions she should pick (we don't need the flag for any other driver).
