i586 and x86_64/32bit are separate packages. i586 are for 32-bit systems: means 32-bit kernel module, 32-bit X module and 32-bit client libraries. Last versions are 390.xx for this. x86_64/32bit are for 32-bit apps on 64-bit system, so it contains just 32-bit client libraries (located in installer's directory "32"). Kernel module and X module are still 64-bit and installed from x86_64 package. So in i586 repository we have only 390 version while in x86_64 we have 410 for both x86_64 and x86_64/32bit packages.
You should still be able to create an i586 package for 32-bit systems running on a 64-bit kernel. It seems that Debian is now doing exactly that [1]. This way, you can still use the latest drivers on a 32-bit system provided your machine is running a 64-bit kernel. As you said, nVidia just stopped developing 32-bit kernel code, all the 32-bit userland code is still there and in development. Adrian
