Hi,
things have evolved quite a bit.
The release team handled the removal of the 96xx series from testing.
You should still ask for the removal of 71xx and 96xx from unstable, of
course. As for the current series, nvidia-graphics-drivers was fixed in
unstable and testing. So the remaining breakage in testing is limited to
the prebuilt modules for the current series. My request for their
removal to the release team has fallen through the cracks. On the other
hand, these packages are now broken since over a year, and were broken
for extended periods of time several times before. Would you rather
request their removal from unstable? Otherwise, I'll prod the release
team again.

It is the package maintainers' privilege (basically) and duty to
request removal from unstable, from the archive maintenance team. Even
though most of these packages can be fixed, there is currently little
manpower so it would be wise to make sure testing and unstable are at
least not broken until the bugs can be fixed or the fixed packages
transitioned. The current series also has a grave bug report filed
against the unstable version, but I'm guessing that's just due to lack
of bug triage.
I already requested the removal of the current series from testing, so
please just request the removal of the 2 first sets opening 1 or 2 bug
reports against ftp.debian.org.
