My own route to this is to install the linux-source package, the
nvidia-kernel-source package, the kernel-package package. Create your
kernel .deb followed by the nvidia module .deb using make-kpkg. The
directions for using make-kpkg are quite decent (I suggest using epochs,
BTW), and it's clean and easy to maintain. Installing the two .deb's
properly sets up all you need. Nvidia-glx should fall into place
automatically.
