Oops.  /usr/src/modules/nvidia...

I just tried it on my sid amd64 machine:

rm -rf /usr/src/modules/nvidia* (or m-a clean nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx should do that)
m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx -l 2.6.29-1-amd64,2.6.29-2-amd64

It built and installed.  I did have to remove my non legacy modules
packages first though since they conflict of course.  It built fine though and resulted in:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 2680158 2009-05-11 18:20 /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-2.6.29-1-amd64_173.14.18-1+2.6.29-3_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root src 2680146 2009-05-11 18:21 /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-2.6.29-2-amd64_173.14.18-1+2.6.29-4_amd64.deb

So it seems to work with both 2.6.29 kernel ABIs released by debian so far.
