akmods is a utility, not a driver

Ok, yes I'm whining here so feel free to delete...

For the love of god please stop filing bugs against the akmods package for
problems with the driver packages!

I know it's not intuitive that for the akmod-nvidiaXXX packages that you
have to file the bug against nvidia-XXX-kmod.

A little research goes a long way, if you look at the package info it will
tell you what source package it came from which should match the component
in bugzilla:
