Nicolas, I am in the same boat ;-) Those were the days !

In my case with no pinning and RPMforge and ELrepo enablusing apt, it 
updated fine from:

    kmod-nvidia (190.42-1.el5.elrepo => 195.36.03-1.el5.elrepo)
    nvidia-x11-drv (190.42-1.el5.elrepo => 195.36.03-1.el5.elrepo)

I haven't tested the new driver yet though :-/
