There's two deb packages for Nvidia drivers, they don't contain the
sources but they do contain some good install scripts, 'apt-get
nvidia-kernel-??? nvidia-glx-???' then copy the two source tarballs
into /usr/src/ and follow the direction in the readme for the deb's
you should be find.
You'll need kernel headers to compile the nvidia-kernel driver, if you
compile your own you've already got them if you using the stock debian
kernel you'll need to 'apt-get kernel-source-??? kernel-headers-???'
