What I eventually did to recover was something like:

dpkg -l | grep nvidia

followed by

sudo apt-get remove

of everything found above.

I'm not sure now whether this was the headers dependency issue
recurring, or some other nvidia problem. There were some error messages
at one point that sugegsted that something was unhappy because my system
did not claim to be a "dell" - it's a lenovo T430.

At this point my theory for how to keep my system stable is to stay with
the generic graphics, and never tough nvidia drivers again ;-(
