True, but the package FTBFS for me:

Ah, I think I see the problem: nvidia-cg-toolkit-installer, when
called in nvidia-cg-toolkit's postinst, uses the http_proxy setting
in my chroot (which points to an apt proxy on the LAN) and therefore
fails to download the tarball. -- Without http_proxy it indeed works.

I think nvidia-cg-toolkit-installer/the postinst should be a bit
cleverer with handling http proxies ...

Cheers,
