They are well-made and you can compile drivers with one command:

Make a new directory and drop the following Makefile there:

---snip---
KROOT = /usr/src/kernel-headers

.PHONY: all
all: modules/nvidia-kernel
ifndef KVERS
  @echo "You must specify the kernel version to use like so:" 1>&2
  @echo "  make ... KVERS=2.6.9-1-k7"
  @/bin/false
endif
  @(umask 007 && KSRC=$(KROOT)-$(KVERS) fakeroot make -C $< -f debian/rules 
binary_modules)
  chmod -R ug=rwX,o= $<
  find $< -type d -exec chmodd g+s {} \;

modules/nvidia-kernel: /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz modules
  rm -rf modules/nvidia-kernel
  tar xfz $<
  chmod -R ug=rwX,o= $@
  find $@ -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

modules:
  mkdir -p2770 modules

/usr/src/nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz:
  apt-get install -t unstable nvidia-kernel-source
---snip---

Now amend the first line and run

  make KVERS=2.6.9-1-k7

or whichever is your version.
