Any plans for it to be fixed? I haven't done a dist-upgrade because of this.

nice that this problem has been fixed in the nvidia package, but i believe that this really is a initramfs bug, it simply ignores the blacklist status of modules, see LP: #815803

Workaround installing the latest driver from Nvidia 285.05.09 -- works fine!
I found a .deb here https:/
(The Nvidia package won't install as is)
I managed to reproduce by installing cryptsetup, it looks like /lib/nvidia- current/ modprobe. conf (which is the actual blacklist, /etc/modprobe. d/nvidia- graphics- drivers. conf is a symlink) didn't get copied into the initramfs so nouveau loads which prevents nvidia from loading later in the boot process.
