I rechecked my /etc/apt/sources.list and also selected a different
mirror
but I still can't see anything like a metapackage or any 173 stuff in
synaptics.

Looks OK to me:
<http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nvidia-kernel-2.6-686>

That lists 173.14.09+3.

Thanks Bruce,
I've also got it now.
Very strange, none of these meta packages showed up intially.
Then I changed repo mirror, still nothing then changed back to the main
server and there they were.

Stilll can't get compiz running but that's another story.
