Péter, that is of course one kind of a solution.
I have investigated the issue a bit further.
As I mentioned in my bug report, the issue is the virtual package xserver-xorg-video-5.
That one is provided, if one installs the nvidia-glx-185 from lucid repos.

A true solution to this problem would be to have a new Nvidia driver in
repos, that provides the virtual package xserver-xorg-video-6.

As a workaround to this, I have found a PPA (Nvidia PPA, ~sevenmachines) for lucid. From there you can install one of the offered two packages. Both do work OK.
1) Latest stable: nvidia-graphics-drivers-190 - 190.42
2) Newest public beta: nvidia-graphics-drivers-195 - 195.22
