I don't think that implementing just subiquity is enough. Ubiquity was
the last piece of ubuntu-drivers integration on the Desktop, as update-
manager continiously was already checking for any new drivers that are
available for the systems' hardware, and continiously providing
notifications to install / switch between new alternatives / dismiss
installing drivers, on continuous basis post-install / post-upgrade.
Doing this during install, simply moved that step from post-install to
pre-install.

Ubuntu Server currently does not have ubuntu-drivers integration with
motd, unattanded upgrades, and apt output to notify users of the newly
available driver implementations, and how to opt into them.

Command line tooling exists, but currently only used non-interactively
by cloud-init on some compatible public clouds.

Bug description:
  Could subiquity provide an option in the UI to install and execute
  ubuntu-drivers-common on the target? The use case I'm interested in is
  an "on-rails" installation of Nvidia drivers for servers being
  installed for deep learning workloads.
