Why cannot we just ship ub-create-device?

The problem with it is that it depends on the nvidia driver version, so you get different version for 535, 550, etc. The real solution would be to let the kernel add udev rules to the system, but we are not there yet.

It is this right? https://github.com/canonical/nvidia-graphics-drivers/blob/560/debian/device-create/ub-device-create.c
That file has not changed for 4 years.

Thanks, I actually thought this was coming from nvidia. I've changed this now.

Import the 71-nvidia.rules file shipped by nvidia-kernel-common-* and the ancillary ub-device-create executable that creates some device nodes when the nvidia kernel module is loaded.

Not sure, but I'm not changing the order of the udev rules here. |

Fwiw, this has been tested on a device with nvidia GPU and nvidia modules. |
Do the same actions as the 71-nvidia.rules files shipped by nvidia-kernel-common-* in case the nvidia driver has been loaded in the system.
