Hi J,
one of the neat tools in Debian is 'module-assistant'. Use Debian's neat
search tool: apt-cache like so:
'apt-cache search nvidia'
to find nvidia related software but it is actually better to use
'module-assistant' in this case!
so see why, use another Debian command:
'apt-cache show module-assistant' it will show:

Description: tool to make module package creation easier
The module-assistant tool helps users and maintainers with managing
external kernel modules packaged for Debian. It can do:
.
- automated preparation of build environment for modules compilation
(eg. automatical detection and installation of required kernel
source/headers)
- automated module source downloads
- configuring and keeping track of external and localy built modules
packages
- semi-automated multiple builds for multiple kernel versions
.
It also contains some framework to be used by the build-scripts in the
accompanying modules-source packages in Debian.

Hope this help!
Cheers,
Kev
