How to repackage NVIDIA .run drivers into .deb with DKMS

Question

At present, Ubuntu offers the 195.36.24 drivers as nvidia-current in their repository. This packaged driver is pretty cool as it uses DKMS so you don't have to keep reinstalling the driver after a new kernel version.

The NVIDIA .run package drivers are at version 257 (beta) but they don't use DKMS so the graphics screws up every time a new kernel is installed and you don't reinstall the driver.

How can I modify the .run to use DKMS and even better, package it as a deb package?

尝试使用此PPA，似乎他们已更新了驱动程序： NVIDIA-VDPAU也许它支持DKMS。
