nvidia-installer (i.e. the .run file from Nvidia) does not integrate to well with a Debian system, and maybe nvidia-installer-cleanup (a Debian package) could cleanup a bit more after newer versions of nvidia-installer. the Debian packaging takes care of blacklisting nouveau if nvidia-driver is installed and activated. As I see it there is not really a bug in the packaging here :-) (at most a wishlist one against nvidia-installer-cleanup, but way to vage for now), so I'm going to close this bug report at some point.
