For what Debian release, resp. from what repository?

The module might be somewhere in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ .

Have you run DKMS manually?

Any messages?

$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
$ grep module /var/log/Xorg.0.log
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Any info about the files provided?

dpkg -L nvidia-kernel-common

Hth,
