@Alberto Milone

I applied you attached patch to:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-common.config

in addition to what I had already applied previously to:
/usr/share/pyshared/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common

Same problem persists...

I guess Mike Stroyan has a point here... See his comment #19
He provided logical explanation for why this is happening and why it should be 
fixed in postinst.d/dkms and not in nvidia-common, and he quoted the debconf 
manual to justify his reasoning, which seems appropriate in this case..

After adding "1>&2" to the invocation of /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller
in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms as he recommended:

Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.

# (success)

So perhaps this bug should be changed to 'dkms' package instead of
'nvidia-common', don't you think?
