As per title, this is needed to better diagnose crashes caused by those drivers. The resulting symbol files won't have function or other in-depth debugging information, but the unwinding tables will be complete so we'll get proper stacks. Debian keeps these packages under the non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-* path on their package servers (see this for example) and Ubuntu keeps them under multiverse/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-* but possibly also under restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-* (see this and this respectively).

The Ubuntu repositories appear largely unused. The bulk of the missing symbols for Ubuntu seem to happen via snap-packaged Nvidia drivers under the nvidia-core22 snap.
