Do you have the correct kernel headers available for your kernel? Does dkms 
find them?
Can you try the official 2.6.32 kernel image+headers from sid/squeeze?

There is at least one Ubuntu repository in this list. A mixed installation of 
Debian and Ubuntu is not supported and recommended as it may create 
unexpected behavior.

This list of depends does not look like it was generated from a current 
version of the package as these have been updated/dropped some time ago.

195.36.24 is when we introduced DKMS support, so that implies that the
DKMS support has never worked for you.  I think this must be a problem
specific to your system, since it's working for lots of other people and
the above syntax has always been used in dkms.conf.

Have you partly replaced DKMS on your system with an installation from
somewhere else, or installed some DKMS package other than the one that's
current in Debian, maybe?

I have:

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates/dkms/"

in the NVIDIA dkms.conf and have version 2.1.1.2-5 of dkms installed (the
same one that reportbug said you have installed) and cannot reproduce this
problem.  None of the dkms.conf files that I have installed have a
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION that starts with /kernel, and I've never had any
problems.
