This was actually what make me start doing it the Debian Way. Using module-
assistant, it is only necessary to reinstall the driver when you upgrade your
kernel. Installing with module-assistant is as simple as
$ m-a update && m-a a-i nvidia
IMO this is no more work than running some script, and it also doesn't require
you to navigate to nvidia's website in order to download the latest version.
