restricted-manager 0.23 doesn't recognise my laptop's nvidia card.

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

I have a compaq v3000z with an nvidia 6150 [C51] video card that restricted-modules doesn't seem to think is an nvidia card. Info about my card:

$ lspci -nvv -s 00:05.0
00:05.0 0300: 10de:0244 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: 103c:30b5

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:05.0/modalias
pci:v000010DEd00000244sv0000103Csd000030B5bc03sc00i00

but searching for the first part of that string in the *.restricted file proves fruitless:

$ cat /var/cache/restricted-manager/2.6.22-8-generic.restricted | grep pci\:v000010DEd000003F
$

Looking at /var/cache/restricted-manager/2.6.22-8-generic.restricted, is there any particular reason it doesn't just use the 'alias:' llne from modinfo, which if used -would- have matched this string?

$ modinfo nvidia | grep alias:
alias: char-major-195-*
alias: pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc02i00*
alias: pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc00i00*
$

$ dpkg --list "*restricted*"

Not sure who controls the *.restricted file, so I'm filing under rstricted-manager for now. Please move to linux-restricted-modules if need be.
