The diversion was added after Etch, according to
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/changelog.Debian.gz:

At that time nvidia-glx had already been removed from Lenny.
The diversion has been removed in the meantime, though:

,----

| 
|   * Make sure wfb diversion is removed. (closes: #482995)

| 
| nvidia-graphics-drivers (169.12-2) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * Add initial linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 intergration, 2.6.24 only
|   * create storage directories for old patches and don't include in binary
|     packages.
|   * Remove wfb diversion and don't install nvidia's copy.
|   * Patch for 2.6.25 support
|   * Patch to compile on xen enabled kernels (closes: #476504, #481485)

Please don't.  This is a bug in nvidia-glx and already fixed.
