nVidia CUDA drivers are provided for Ubuntu only. Sadly they will depend on nvidia-settings
that in turn depends on a screen-resolution-extra
package. This seems to be nothing more but a couple of scripts to provide UI widget for fast screen resolution change. As this package is not available for Debian, cuda-drivers
does not install.
This project builds a stub package screen-resolution-extra
to satisfy driver package dependencies. However, it does not provide any functionality.
The best way would actually be to create a virtual package, but according to Debian policy, none of the virtual packages are considered if dependency is defined using a concrete version number. This is exactly, what nvidia-settings
does. So only solutions would be either to install all the world required by original screen-resolution-extra
(and this is indeed a Pandora's Box) or pollute a repository namespace and use a stub package with a same name as its original counterpart.

$ sudo apt install screen-resolution-extra
