What about your changes (in 256.xx):
[ Russ Allbery ]
* Use /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build as the default kernel build location
for nvidia-kernel-source instead of /usr/src/linux, since this is set
up automatically by the current linux-headers-* packages.
* In the nvidia-kernel-source documentation, remove mention of setting
KVERS, which should no longer be needed, and mention that setting KSRC
is optional if the build link exists and you're building for the
currently running kernel.
At least the first half of the documentation update (remove KVERS)
should be safe to take over. The second part (setting KSRC is not needed
if building for the running kernel) requires the one line code change in
the nvidia-kernel-source package.
