I just tried to compile 195.36.24-3 (not released yet, from svn trunk)
in lenny+backports by disabling all *-ia32 packages and their
Build-Depends, but got stuck here:

Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.16~)

According to apt-cache, these versions are available:
     7.4.11~bpo50+1 0
     7.0.15 0

So unless someone updates the debhelper backport in lenny, I'm not
continuing on this road.

Is your card supported by the 173.14.25 driver release? Eventually we
could get a new release of the 173.14.* series into lenny-backports,
this would still use the old packaging scripts, so should be less
complicated.

That at least seems to be compilable - Randall what do you think about
updating backports?
