nvidia-envy is a privately packaged version of the NVidia driver by
Alberto Milone [1].
The actual Ubuntu NVidia driver in hardy (8.04) is 169.12
+2.6.24.13-19.42.

intrepid is a fork of Debian's current packages, and so it's no
requirement to have the latest NVidia driver, as they are not pulled
from the actual source at NVidia.

If you need a newer NVidia driver, you should file a bug report against
nvidia-glx-new on Launchpad that will request an update.

I hope that could clarify a couple of things. :-)

Bye,
        Sebastian.
