Kernel Updates Breaking nvidia Drivers?

Has anyone else noticed that with each kernel update, they seem to break
the nvidia module? I dist-upgraded today on my Inspiron 5150 that has a
nVidia card in it, and it would appear that the
linux-restricted-modules-686 package has been removed and is now not
installable. I tried booting on the 386 kernel which usually works, but
doesn't for the same reason (nvidia module can't be found).
Any word on if this is going to stop happening? Usually restarting twice
fixes it, I think there is some kind of cache that is rebuilt at boot,
but not this time. I've tried adding/removing the kernel packages and
the linux-restricted-modules package to no avail.
