I guess Hans was right, after all. This is what Debian asked to do

Version 304.137 (legacy GPUs)

For support of GeForce 6 series and GeForce 7 series GPUs (supported devices).

1. Add "contrib" and "non-free" components to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:

   # Debian 9 "Stretch"
   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages. Install the appropriate NVIDIA driver package:

# apt install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver

DKMS will build the nvidia module for your system, via the nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms package.

After, create an Xorg server configuration file and then restart your system to enable the nouveau blacklist.

Except when you click on the DKMS link, there's no Buster package there.

I give up, except if I'm wrong with how I understand things.

Thanks to all, especially Hans, with whose help I could have saved a ton of time.
