It sounds like Andreas is willing to help, which is the best case.  :)
You can look at the current Debian packaging for the NVIDIA packages at:

    http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-nvidia/packages/

which may be helpful as examples.  For building for multiple
architectures, currently we just build things for i386 and amd64
separately and upload, but we're trying to get the NVIDIA packages blessed
by the non-free autobuild network so that will no longer be required.
