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]. I'm not sure if 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernel is used by a lot of people. Most uses matched bitness of kernel & user space. And I don't know how to make that possible for NVidia drivers, as 32-bit userspace needs X server 32-bit module, but x86_64 installer has no such version, only 64-bit.
Next, I'm not sure it's good to have i586 package which would work only for mixed bit installation.
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. Not only kernel, X server GLX module too and that's user space, right?
And if we are talking about 64-bit kernel+X server and 32-bit other stuff (e.g. games), we have nvidia-bumblebee-32bit for that already, and surely it has version 410.66. -- Kind regards, Mykola Krachkovsky -- Найкращі побажання, Микола Крачковський
