The package in experimental has some patches for 6.15, but the module
build finally fails with

ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__vma_start_write'
ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia-drm.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__vma_start_write'

where I haven't found a solution, yet.

BTW, the open kernel module (nvidia-open-kernel-dkms) builds fine for
6.15 (only the version in experimental) (because it can use GPL
symbols).
