Thank you Brice. The problem still occurs in this case.

I reinstalled linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64, and rebuilt the nvidia driver
package for it, but something is wrong and I can't start any display
manager rebooting into that kernel. It's related to an nvidia version
mismatch between an xorg config file and the nvidia kernel (I didn't note
the exact message, sorry).
I have a strong hunch it's the new linux kernel though, because the light
indicator worked during boot-up with the older kernel.
