I managed to solve the same issue by manually installing the Nvidia
version 319.49 drivers downloaded from
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

following the procedure described in ["Method 4: Manual install from the 
official site"][1] 
Note that I have enabled the DKMS option during install, and answered yes to 
the question on whether to overwrite existing xorg.conf files.

After installing, I rebooted the laptop and in nvidia-settings all
resolutions were visible again.

So it might well worth trying to package this 319.49 version as a debian/ubuntu 
package...
