There's no such (binary) package.
nvidia-kernel-common: Init scripts needed by Nvidia.
nvidia-kernel-source: Source code required to compile a kernel module.
Do 'apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common', then
run module assistant (m-a) as already suggest on this list.
I've done it several times, and it worked.
You will also want to install nvidia-glx after running module assistant.
P.S.:
You can find the beta drivers from nvidia in experimental, you can
install it like this:
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source/experimental
m-a update
m-a auto-install nvidia
apt-get install nvidia-glx/experimental
Reason you might want to try the beta driver: Google earth works with it :)
