I've been running MythTV on Debian unstable since 2004 and haven't had
any serious problems with updates in all that time, although I haven't
attempted an update since Feb 11th.

I can see nvidia-kernel-dkms packages are available in stable,
unstable, and experimental, so I'm not sure why you're saying they're
not available.  Which Debian release are you running and with what
kernel package?
