Dear Filipus, > you need debhelper 5 to build the current drivers, as indicated by the > Build-dependencies : "debhelper (>> 5.0.0)".
The package control has Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0), make, sed (>> 3.0), dpatch (>= 2.0.0) (shown also at http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/nvidia-kernel-source) while file modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/control.template within the package has the line Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), make, libc6-dev and in fact I succeeded in building the package on sarge, with debhelper version 4.2.32 (did not need unstable/testing with version 5.0.26). The setting export DH_COMPAT=5 in modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/rules seems excessive and unneeded, and the line * now that sarge is stable upgrade DH_COMPAT to 5 (closes: #336734) in modules/nvidia-kernel/debian/changelog seems to reflect a belief that debhelper version 5 would make it into sarge, which it didn't. I do realize that nvidia-kernel-source version 1.0.8178-2 is meant to be in the testing/unstable distribution only, not in sarge; still, your various debhelper settings are mismatched (and are not as you claim).
