Sure have. I'm using ftp.debian.org , and I just went there and found under debian/pool/n this stuff: I ran apt-get update (or rather aptitude update) yesterday, and updated a few things in the process. Looking at a debian ftp site that I use (#1 listing in my sources.list) I see: debian/pool/non-free/n > ls -l nvi* drwxr-sr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jul 7 08:35 nvidia-graphics-drivers drwxr-sr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Dec 7 2006 nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 21 20:34 nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-71xx drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 21 20:34 nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 22 08:42 nvidia-graphics-legacy-71xx-modules-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 25 20:30 nvidia-graphics-legacy-71xx-modules-i386 drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 25 20:30 nvidia-graphics-legacy-96xx-modules-amd64 drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 25 20:30 nvidia-graphics-legacy-96xx-modules-i386 drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 27 08:34 nvidia-graphics-legacy-modules-amd64 drwxr-sr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 27 08:34 nvidia-graphics-legacy-modules-i386 drwxr-xr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 27 08:34 nvidia-graphics-modules-amd64 drwxr-sr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Jun 27 08:34 nvidia-graphics-modules-i386 drwxr-sr-x 2 1176 1176 4096 Nov 21 2006 nvidia-modules-i386 Note there is no "nvidia-kernel-source". Poking around with various 'apt-cache policy' commands on some of those files, all I get are "unable to locate package such and such" errors. I've tried nvidia-graphics-drivers, nvidia-graphics-legacy-96xx. If it is in 'pool" that doesn't necessarily mean that these files are in "testing", does it? OTOH, look at the file dates. The "why is package X not in testing" page does have some info - says there is no new version in testing, and is trying to add, not update.
