I don't have that in the installation steps:

# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common module-assistant
# m-a -i -t prepare
# m-a clean,a-i -i -t -f nvidia-kernel-source
# depmod -a
# apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-xconfig
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
# nvidia-xconfig

When I need to reinstall the drivers (e.g. after a kernel upgrade),
I rerun steps 2 to 4.

This has always worked for me.
