Thanks for the review Michael, I think it goes the other way around there
- install a driver
- upgrade to a new serie
- the driver in ubuntu get dropped/replaced for some reason (think nvidia driver changing number)
- you end up with a locally installed driver that is deprecated/not in the repository
The UI needs to list that driver since it's installed
Not sure what makes the candidate be there or not though, I tried that theory by installing a driver and then disabling "restricted" (and refreshing the apt index) ... apt was only listing the local version (e.g /var/lib/dpkg/info source) but it still had a candidate version, not sure what needs to happen for a locally installed package to not have a candidate?
