I have some more pending patches that just need to be refreshed to the
current source tree - one of them is using dh_install and friends for
all installation currently done manually in debian/rules. I'll look into
this in the weekend.

We probably could get rid of the #DIRNAME# substitution by creating some
symbolic links after unpacking:

NVIDIA-Linux-i386 -> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-${RELEASE}-pkg0
NVIDIA-Linux-amd64 -> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-${RELEASE}-pkg2
NVIDIA-Linux -> NVIDIA-Linux-${ARCH}

and use NVIDIA-Linux as directory name for everything debian/*.install

Only when we collect nv-kernel.o we take them both from
NVIDIA-Linux-{i386,amd64}
