If there's a way to turn the new nouveau kernel tree into something that
could build modules for the standard debian kernel, I guess that could
be an option.  Otherwise, I guess we can wait for it to make its way
into the staging tree, although I don't know the ETA for that.  Did you
try discussing the options with nouveau people upstream?
The drm git tree is increasingly libdrm only…

Cheers,
