Hey Mario,
The kernel I put together has the same packaging as the vanilla kernel, to the best of my ability, and as far as I can tell.  

It has been awhile since I have run into this, and I don't remember
exactly what the issue was.  Right now, the custom kernel installs fine,
and uses the driver fine, etc.  Looking that nvidia-current.postinst,
this still looks like it will be an issue when the graphics driver is
upgraded.  nvidia-current.postinst only installs the driver for the
currently running kernel.  So anyone running more than one kernel will
have an issue, not just those running a custom kernel.

I completely understand that this affects only a small minority of
users.  I hope you don't mind that I will continue to use this bug to
track whatever the best solution is.
