You must do this differenlty: This package installs drm.ko in extra/. 
This way it doesn't conflict with drm.ko from kernel26, but it is still 
possible that the stock one will be loaded first.

This module MUST be put in the updates/ directory so it will always take 
precedence. This might break other drm drivers, so I suggest providing a 
  "drm-git" package instead, which would install updates for all drm 
modules from git to updates/ (instead of just nouveau). This package 
could then also be used by non-nouveau users.
