No, since you can use module assistant, or you can have it built using
linux-modules-2.6-nonfree (just as soon as we get it enabled in that).
It doesn't require module-assistant, but it does work with it if you
choose to use it.

I do plan to make it work with make-kpkg again soon (which I
unfortunately broke as part of making it work with 2.6.29 and
linux-modules-2.6-nonfree).

Well if you passed along a VERSION= as well, it would probably work.

Something like:
VERSION=180.44-2+2.6.29-3

That would match what module-assistant is setting it to.  That is whatever
the version of the nvidia package is plus whatever the version of the
kernel headers package is.
