Right, indeed.
Just to be sure, I downloaded again, from the amd64 repository.
Rebuilt nvidia-kernel-source_1.0.7174-3_amd64.deb

Recomplied the module, reinstalled, and...

# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.14-vs2.1.0-rc5+g2/nvidia/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

The relevant lines:

[ 9272.404373] nvidia: Unknown symbol register_ioctl32_conversion
[ 9272.404450] nvidia: Unknown symbol unregister_ioctl32_conversion

Conclusion:

- For version 1.0.7174, "modprobe" fails for kernel 2.6.14.
- (from my previous attempt with maybe incompatible 32bit "source") for 
  version 1.0.7676, "modprobe" loads the module, but it doesn't work (i.e.
  the screen goes blank when starting the X server).

It seems that I'm stuck! :-/
