here I couldn't even make 
apt-get source nvidia-kernel-source 
like I did always before. This now downloads the nvidia-graphics-drivers  
source package - is this the right way nowadays? I tried mirrors in NL 
and D - they both offered the graphics-drivers. 

Now I downloaded nvidia-kernel-source 169.07-2 directly from 
ftp.de.debian.org/debian and installed it via dpkg - and it worked. 
Created the above mentioned symlink and m-a a-i nvidia worked. 

Now I have some blurred areas under X11 - is this because new bugs in 
this sources, or was my method a bad idea?

Regards,
sigi.
