During the process of trying to collect those boot logs, I think I
figured out what the problem was: I didn't have linux-headers-generic
installed.  Thus, dkms was failing to compile the nvidia module, thus
Xorg failed to load.

Strange enough, apt does not seem to be enforcing the depends that
nvidia-current has on linux-headers-generic.  (It makes sense that I
might lose the package since I use an automated tool like debfoster to
clear out orphaned packages and programs from time to time).  I really
don't know.  The package info from `apt-cache show nvidia-current` has
allot of Modaliases info in it, which seems weird.

Let me know if you think there is a bug in all that that is worth
pursuing.
