The 364.15 version is very experimental, but you can easy build the deb  
packages yourself and install them.

a small howto:

svn co  
svn://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics-drivers/branches/364
mkdir tarballs/nvidia-graphics-drivers_364.15.orig

Download the run files (i386 and amd64) from Nvidia into that directory
tar the directory to nvidia-graphics-drivers_364.15.orig.tar.gz

(I have edited the rules.defs file: ARCH_LIST = i386 amd64 )

svn-buildpackage --svn-ignore -us -uc -rfakeroot
and if you need the i386 packages
svn-buildpackage --svn-ignore --svn-arch=i386 -us -uc -rfakeroot

success,

Floris
