Short answer: use Stable, dude. Or dist-upgrade correctly. Pulling "just
some Sid packages" calls for trouble like that.

Long answer: I have no means to prevent user from doing bad things, and
the problem may be solved using stronger versioned dependencies in
nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-... packages. And I won't invent some
hocus pocus to guess what the version may be and what other things may
belong too, we have package attributes for this kind of problems.

Reassigning to nvidia-glx...

Eduard.
