After watermarking the driver, I had a problem with further update of the fglrx-driver package which would not change the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so which was a symlink originally (this file even "survived" a purge/reinstall).
see http://bugs.debian.org/660571
Maybe it could be better to change the file pointed by the symbolic link (in my installation, it is /usr/lib/fglrx/fglrx_drv.so)
