Pretty sure, as it did work maybe two weeks ago with 4.5.7 and the
same kernel config. And I also tried to recompile it now with the
old kernel 4.5.7, it also has no versions anymore.

I think it's something that changed in the toolchain within debian/sid.
Not necessarily the nvidia-kernel-dkms package (because I didn't 
change that one neither) but that's probably where it would need to
be mitigated, so I reported the bug there.

I'll look into that.
