Thus Debian is furnishing the kernel and the glx file for its distribution.

Could we please get the same service in Cooker!!

I'm sure that it is in the non-free part, so you can't have it in the main 
distribution ( i.e when you will buy the new Debian, thee won't be in the CD )
On top of that on the nvidia site you have rpm for mdk 8 and src.rpm.
Take them from the nvidia site is not so painfull

These are *contrib* deb's, and you won't find them on the official
Debian distribution. There's nothing holding you back from contributing
these packages for Mandrake 8.1, but we can't distribute them on our
main CDs. 
But maybe this would be a nice option for the commercial CD,
afaik M has a distribution agreement with nVidia ...
