Dear Len,

I will admit I have not understood half of what you wrote, however
modifying that line as you suggest and then launching:

jack at nostromo:~$ sudo m-a a-i -O -l 2.6.28-1-amd64 nvidia

built the package correctly.
I have not rebooted with 2.6.28 to test it, but I expect it to work.

I was holding back to 2.6.28 because of the nvidia module, now I can
safely switch full time to 2.6.29. However, I believe it is good to know
it's fixed.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need more testing.

At that point it will compile, but segfault, as it should..
