Thanks a lot for pointing this out.  Since this was rather urgent on a
Sunday, what ended up saving my day was the newer 2.6.18-1-amd64 actually
available from Debian.  After upgrading to that kernel, module-assistant
took care of the rest.  But good to know about that bug in case I
encounter this problem again.

Thanks to all the Debian nVidia pros!
