The Debian scripts for grub by default create two entries for each
installed kernel, and one of them (the one labeled with 'recovery mode')
has this parameter.

Which is apparently not the kernel you booted with, since all those
options are missing from /proc/cmdline.
BTW, have you considered upgrading your kernel? Linux 3.0 is not
supported by anyone, and it is quite possible that you don't need
nouveau.noaccel=1 with newer kernels.
