There is a statement:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nvidia-devel/2016-April/012918.html

the alternative is build the packages yourself:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nvidia-devel/2016-April/012917.html

Please build the packages and report all the issues you have, so the  
maintainers can make a stable package.

Success,

Floris
