The patch to create these devices in udev is included in debian's non-free
source. Perhaps you were missing the appropriate udev rules to actually
create the device files.
Put the following in a file (whose name ends in .rules) in
/etc/udev/rules.d
KERNEL="nvidia[0-9]*", NAME="%k"
KERNEL="nvidiactl", NAME="%k"

I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about
signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. ***
