while i feel your pain (and I'm eagerly waiting for an update of the 
nvidia-kernel-dkms package myself), i'm afraid that not all dkms 
packages are "part of Debian".
esp, things in the "non-free" and "contrib" sections are *not* part of 
Debian.
and i'm pretty sure that packages in "non-free-firmware" are not 
considered part of "Debian proper" as well.

as such, proprietary dkms modules *are* somewhat second-class citizens 
in the DFSG world, and will probably not get the same amount of QA as 
fully free software.
