This probably comes from the fact that I tried to configure it
bottom-up. Like in the old times, first figure out how to build the
module and how to load it, then install the Xorg driver.

But to be honest, is this the origin of the issue? If yes, then the
description of nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-kernel-dkms (and its
README.Debian) probably should clearly state: "This kernel modules
shall only be installed after installing nvidia-driver package" or
something similar.

Best regards,
Eduard.

In this configuration, the nvidia driver is disabled.
But that has changed in your next bug report.
