Bug Description

This is at least the third time this happens with 12.10 amd
A new kernel upgrade is installed, and after that nvidia_current drivers are not usable anymore
All that needs to be done is make sure
                   linux-headers-3.5.0-19-generic
are also installed on kernel upgrade while any nvidia driver is installed.
Rebuilding of the nvidia kernel mod fails otherwise with - no kernel headers for current kernel installed.

Is that so hard?
