Hmm, didn't see the email from Devolder. Having written the initial nvidia-beta-all package, I can assure you that nvidia-beta-all (and nvidia-all which Det maintains) builds the modules for all installed kernels. uname -r is not used at all, a bit of sed hackery lists down the installed kernels and builds nvidia modules for each of them.
An advantage of the individual nvidia packages I can see, would be that of the ability to offer prebuilt packages for specific AUR kernels (like kernel26-ck and kernel26-pf) in unofficial repos, which is convenient for some people. Otherwise, the -all version is really handy (I, for one, use it).
