Hmmm... I'm jumping in here and talking about something I know only
about, so this may be entirely wrong, but I think I see a couple of errors in
your sources list.
First, (and this may have no bearing on your problem) but your only line for source
code is:
> deb-src http://archive.progeny.com/debian testing main contrib non-free
but if when I fired up my browser to take a look I found that this no longer is a working
site:

Second, I think you're supposed to be downloading source code, but the entries for
people.debian.org begin with deb, not deb-src. There is no such package in the
binary packages for amd64. This might all make more sense if you point your
browser to http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/ and have a look.
HTH!
