Unfortunately, I must confirm that a similiar workaround is still needed in
100.14.19-1. I needed to remove the $(ROOT_CMD) from lines 285 and 286
in /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/rules for the build to succeed.

If you see messages that indicate that it is not

Building against a vanilla 2.6.23.12.

Other modules, such as kqemu and vmware-any-any, build fine with this
call.
