I have never used the nvidia installer with the Debian stock kernels,
but based on my experience with my custom kernels I think that it might
be sufficient to create a /usr/src/linux symlink which points to your
kernel headers directory.
If that does not work then you will probably have to use the
"--kernel-source-path" option to point the installer to the correct
directory. (See the nvidia README.txt and/or run the installer script
with "--advanced-options" to get a brief explanation.)
