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.
