Searching google has hinted that there is a patch for nvidia package
from Nvidia. I was wondering if a Debian nvidia package is forthcoming
that fixes this problem.

Like stated, it depends on how and what you are trying to install.
I install the nVidia driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run
directly on 2.6.16-ck1 and found this patch:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62889
which refers to:
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8178-1444349.diff.txt
and if you apply that to the extracted file it applies and the driver then compiles.
