Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 1.0.7174-3

Building and installing works but once X is reconfigured and started, the
screen gets very dim and there is no color, making X unusable. This appears to
be an issue with the GeForce 6200 only and Nvidia has addressed this in the
newer version. This newer version happens to be in sid as 1.0.8178-2.
Installing and attempting to build this version results in an error from
debhelper. System info and m-a error output below:
