> Wheezy currently has ia32-libs 20120102, so unblocking nvidia-* at the
moment seems like it would just cause a different bunch of issues?

That depends on the future of ia32-libs in wheezy. Has there been a
decision, yet?

I could do the following:

* revert the changes to the *-ia32 packages, making them
non-transitional again
* the package will be buildable in testing only (because it needs the
old ia32-libs) but I would upload it to unstable, not tpu
* the reinstated *-ia32 packages will be unusable (maybe uninstallable)
in sid (but that won't block a transition to wheezy), everything else
will be fine
* I'll try to loosen the dependencies on ia32-libs to not block a
possible transition of the ia32-libs version currently in sid (that
transition would break *-ia32 built from n-g-d in testing, but can be
fixed by a new upload of n-g-d with transitional *-ia32 packages again)

I need to upload a new upstream release (304.43) anyway, fixes some
bugs, add support for new hardware ... that could be bundled with above
changes.

I just tested:
* the 304.37-1 packages are installable in wheezy, including the
transitional -ia32 ones
* libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 and :amd64 are not co-installable due to lack
of multiarch support in libxvmc1 (#640499) => no 32-bit nvidia support
on amd64

* 32-bit nvidia support on amd64 (needed for e.g. wine) could be
restored by reinstating the n-g-d *-ia32 packages if the old monolithic
ia32-libs stays in wheezy
