Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 331.49-1 [non-free]

When I do:

root at host:~# aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 
's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms

I get:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
>   dkms{a} firmware-linux-free{a} glx-alternative-mesa{a} 
> glx-alternative-nvidia{a} glx-diversions{a}
