I had been holding off because it had various compilation problems, but
Andreas has fixed that now, so we should be good to move forward with a
newer version.

My top priority right now is to get the version in unstable to propagate
to testing, since testing is completely broken.  This requires:

* nvidia-graphics-modules for i386 to pass NEW.
* I build nvidia-graphics-modules for amd64 and upload it.
* nvidia-graphics-modules for amd64 to pass NEW.
* 2.6.32-4 to propagate to testing and take NVIDIA with it.

I want all of that to happen before uploading a new version of the NVIDIA
packages, since that will reset the clock on testing propagation.  As soon
as testing isn't completely broken, we can move forward with a newer
upstream version.
