I followed several howto's (even from the people that wrote it worked, e.g. Stefan Salewski's "NVidia driver successfully installed!" and his link http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html) but I cannot apt-get the nvidia-kernel-source from any of the mentioned repositories.

nvidia-kernel-source and other nvidia packages are not in the amd64
archive last I checked.
You can get the source version of the package from non-free on any
debian mirror and build the .deb's from that and they work just fine on
amd64.
