Dear maintainers,

nvidia-kernel-source version 100.14.09 cannot be compiled on the latest kernel version
(2.6.23-1-amd64). I have to use the older version of this package, as all
newer versions of the nvdia-packages let my system unexpectly freeze. 
This might be related to nvidias or xorgs new ABI, I do not know. There is a
bugreport about this behaviour sent by me. 

Anyway, according to this, I need the older packages get compiled, otherwise it 
is no use for me, to upgrade to a newer kernel. Sorry for that !

Thanks for your help !

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
