That's not too surprising.  "Hardware acceleration" probably means using
OpenGL, and you have NVidia's GL libraries installed, they cannot work
without the blob.

Remove the libgl{1,x}-nvidia-alternatives packages and try again.  Note
that nouveau does not provide 3D acceleration unless you install the
libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package (unsupported, please do not report
bugs) or build Mesa from git yourself[1,2].
