[Feature Request] Ship GDRCopy packages in the NVIDIA driver local repository installer

[gmarciani]

Summary

Please consider including the GDRCopy packages in the NVIDIA driver local repository installers
(nvidia-driver-local-repo-<distro>-<version>.(deb|rpm) published under
https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvidia-driver/<version>/local_installers/).

Motivation

Including GDRCopy alongside the driver in the local repo would let consumers install everything from one source, with cross-compatibility guaranteed by construction.

The driver local repo is already the single, self-contained artifact we use to install the driver and companion packages such as nvidia-fabricmanager.

Having GDRCopy distributed separately has two costs for us:

1. Supply chain complexity. Every additional source means separate artifacts to mirror, verify, pin, and track through their lifecycle.
2. Compatibility burden. today we must check the cross compatibility between driver/CUDA/GDRCopy, which comes with risks of taking the wrong decision. If GDRCopy shipped inside the driver local repo, each driver release would carry a GDRCopy version validated against it, making the pairing correct by construction.

Thanks for considering it.
