I may have found the packages I need:
   nvidia-legacy-304xx-alternative_304.137-8_amd64.deb
   nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-source_304.137-8_amd64.deb
   nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-support_304.137-8_amd64.deb

at this location:
 
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx/

Assuming they're not broken in beowulf, maybe it's just a matter of 
including them in the non-free package index?  If I find out that they 
are broken I'll definitely let you know.

Additionally module-assistant specifies 304 and 340 but not the newer 
390 legacy driver for nvidia.  you might want to look into this.


thanks in advance
