This issue is solved now. I don't know if the Ubuntu packers fixed it or if it was me.
In case it is the latter, I added the "proposed" repository and manually went through all nvidia files in aptitude and then was able to update.
It installed a 650 and a 655 version of one of the files and that solved the dependency issue. Those files can be removed after the upgrade.
It did skip a Kernel version though, so from 21 to 23.
