Is there any reason for nvidia-kernel-xxx not to depend (but just recommend) 
linux-image-xxx?

The problem we ran into with an automatic (FAI) install is that without that 
dependency, nvidia-kernel may get configured before kernel-image.  But this 
then failes since there's no /lib/modules/xxx directory at that point. So you 
end up with /lib/modules/xxx_nnn (with nnn presumably the process id of the 
failed counfiguration) and nvidia.ko in there.

Adding the dependency (here with a change from linux-image to kernel-image) to 
control.template seems to fix the problem:

< Depends: nvidia-kernel-common (>= 20051028+1-0.1)
< Recommends: linux-image-#KVERS#
> Depends: nvidia-kernel-common (>= 20051028+1-0.1),
> kernel-image-#KVERS#
