This bug is still not fixed. I just updated to oneiric and had to fix all the glx links by myself.
There is a libglx.so link unter /etc/alternatives. It would be great if the xorg package would link to it, so that an update doesn't break the nvidia configuration. Example:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extension/libglx.so links to /etc/alternatives/libglx.so

Then for a normal install:
/etc/alternatives/libglx.so could then link either to the xorg-libglx.so or to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/libglx.so

This would work around touching upon the /usr/lib-files....
