testing new Nvidia drivers (newbie question)

I have been following the thread about testing the new 7167 Nvidia
drivers. I was curious about what was meant in the starting post
saying "..pick this up for hoary...". Does this mean that instead of
having to use the Nvidia application to compile a new kernel interface
with every kernel update, Synaptic/apt-get can perform the appropriate
updates?

I was attempting to get the 6629 drivers to work with Hoary and my old
Riva TNT a while back, but gave up due to incompatibility with the
older cards, and I was also concerned about the idea of having to
manually update all the time. Am currently using the default nv
driver.
