Did you get the unstable source package from here:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/    ?????

Could you get an entire installation of Sid from here:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/unstable/20080410-1/amd64/jigdo-cd/      ?????

If you could install an entire sid distro from this daily build (excuse my ignorance) then presumably you could avoid changing any dependencies and install the nvidia drivers successfully.......????
