It's not broken although I'm not sure I would try installing it again :o)

This information may be a bit out of date as I installed the drivers a few 
months ago but I got the packages from here

http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64-alioth-old/pure64/

I don't even know if it is still up and running. I seem to remember reading 
something about the nvidia drivers being removed from the normal repositories 
which is why I got them from here. After that the uses module-assist install 
works fine.
