Ah, that was the problem.

apt-cache policy nvidia-kernel-source
nvidia-kernel-source:
  Installed: 1.0.8776-4
  Candidate: 1.0.8776-4
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.8776-4 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I had misunderstood that the 169-version would be in lenny. Seems not to be.
Need to get it from sid, then.

Thanks!
