How with support for Kepler in both drivers?
I assume that while now GK* cards are expensive and thus
not popular, they'll get cheaper and will become more
popular. I, as user, would want to have drivers supporting
hardware I own or plan to buy. This would suggest
uploading 302.x to Wheezy.
From personal experience I have been using 295.x on laptop (with 9400M)
and 302.x on desktop (with GF104) and have not noticed any
problems with 302.

Best regards.
