Please don't ask for packages to be updated. This is not the place. They will be updated in time. The MOTUs have over 20,000 to deal with - get on the relevant IRC channel and volunteer to help if you want it done.
Before then, grab the binaries from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.05.html if you need 9x00 support now.

It will get updated as soon as it passes testing. Enable 'hardy-proposed' if you'd like it (though not sure if it's there yet).

This won't happen. It's too risky to be upgrading something as important as a graphics driver in a stable release. The drivers that shipped with Feisty didn't support the 8 series cards. I had to use Envy to fix that. If you want the latest driver use Envy or install it manually. Asking for packages here won't help any.
