See my mail to Adam - it is XFdrake that installs it for some reason:

This is from my syslog:

Jun 3 21:54:34 dvalin XFdrake[11523]: those kernel module packages can
be installed: nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb
dkms-nvidia-current
Jun 3 21:54:35 dvalin XFdrake[11523]: running: /bin/rpm -q --qf %{name}
x11-driver-video-nv x11-driver-video-nvidia-current
nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb dkms-nvidia-current

See the last entry?

Yes, but XFdrake pulls in the source dkms packages too.

I am not going to speculate, I remember I had to install it for
something - could be completely Mandriva unrelated. My point is that I
had it there, but not on my desktop.

Yup.
