I have just tested the package from experimental and the same error happens:

# dpkg -r vdpau-va-driver
# wget
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vdpau-video/vdpau-va-driver_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i vdpau-va-driver_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb
# vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so has no function
__vaDriverInit_0_32
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit



Meanwhile with the package that I built from upstream it works

# dpkg -r vdpau-va-driver
# dpkg -i vdpau-va-driver_0.7.3-1_amd64.deb
# vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU backend for VA-API -
