That's were we started with. The infrastructure is there and we can
upload prebuilt legacy modules quite fast, but they will have to go
through NEW. Should we do this? I'm not sure whether we can get them
tested as good as the nvidia-graphics-modules 195.36.31+1.

The changes in 20100522+2 compared to 20100522+1 are

* housekeeping (++Standards-Version, ++debhelper compat, Uploaders,
  VCS-*, ...)
* packaging simplification: use dpkg-maintscript-helper for renaming
  config files instead of hand made code

It would be nice to have this in squeeze, too.
