There seems to be other issues.

In testing, nvidia-kernel-3.10-3-486  depends on linux-image-3.10-3-486. 
Hence, I think source package nvidia-graphics-modules needs to be 
updated (see http://coinst.irill.org/report/p/linux.html).

Packages linux-headers-3.11-* do not provide linux-headers any
longer. Hence, there is an issue with package oss4-dkms on non-intel 
architectures, as it depends on "linux-headers-686-pae | 
linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic | linux-headers". There is a 
similar issue with blktap-dkms and blcr-dkms, that depend on 
"linux-headers-generic | linux-headers", on all architectures.

In fact, there seems to be several other packages in the same situation 
as oss4-dkms (package dkms, for instance), but because they are 
arch:all, Britney will not consider this as an issue.

It might be possible to temporarily remove nvidia-graphics-modules and 
blktap-dkms (together with blktap, xcp-storage-managers, and 
xen-api-libs). Source packages oss4 and blcr are more problematic: many 
packages depend on liboss4-salsa2 on kfreebsd architectures; openmpi 
depends on blcr libraries.
