IIRC that was needed to avoid putting internal knowledge about the
nvidia packages layout into to many places ... but for other reasons as
well maybe we should introduce an update-glx command for wheezy+1.
The glx alternatives in experimental manage the module blacklist, too,
and therefore need an update-initramfs -u after reconfiguring the
alternative.

please try
  dpkg-reconfigure glx-alternative-nvidia
after manually changing the nvidia alternative
