nvidia/current/nvidia-modprobe.conf, which is linked via
modprobe.d/nvidia.conf -> /etc/alternatives/glx--nvidia-modprobe.conf -> nvidia/nvidia-modprobe.conf -> /etc/alternatives/nvidia--nvidia-modprobe.conf
is gone now. It was in package nvidia-kernel-support.

The content was:
   install nvidia modprobe -i nvidia-current $CMDLINE_OPTS

   install nvidia-modeset modprobe nvidia ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-modeset $CMDLINE_OPTS

   install nvidia-drm modprobe nvidia-modeset ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-drm $CMDLINE_OPTS

   install nvidia-peermem modprobe nvidia ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-peermem $CMDLINE_OPTS

   install nvidia-uvm modprobe nvidia ; modprobe -i nvidia-current-uvm $CMDLINE_OPTS

   remove nvidia modprobe -r -i nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-peermem nvidia-uvm nvidia

   remove nvidia-modeset modprobe -r -i nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset

   # These aliases are defined in *all* nvidia modules.

   # version is installed. See #798207.

See above.
