Yes, but 304.88 is in nonfree-update-testing, so your test still sees it.

Anyway, I have installed it and all seems ok. xorg.conf remains as it
was after my edit, so the nvidia modules are being loaded and it works,
at least for me.
It's probably not worth making changes to the 304.64 packages now, since
they will presumably soon disappear and this thread is in the archive. I
was just trying to make several simultaneous major changes to my system
and a broken graphics driver didn't help.

And I see that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-nvidia.conf, provided by
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia,
has the same intended effect as my edit to xorg.conf; it just looks as
if xorg.conf had precedence.
