One way would be to shut down X and remove the old nvidia-glx package
before upgrading the nvidia-kernel-source package. After you
auto-install the nvidia kernel module with module-assistant you can
install the new nvidia-glx package and restart X.
There might be a better way to do this, but I have not found it yet. (I
only switched from using the nvidia installer script to the Debian
packages a short time ago.)
Other workarounds I can think of involve equivs or installing the
nvidia-glx package with dpkg and "--force-depends".
