The question is in the title. What are the Linux distributions with the ability to install CUDA from the repositories?
On Ubuntu 11.10 I used a third party PPA and was "soooo happy". But, unfortunately, the build for 12.04 did not appear in it.
I'm aware that there seems to be a CUDA SDK available on Debian, Mageia and Arch. The latter is famous for being famous for too new software, the first for being too old. And what do you use? Ubuntu doesn't count ;)

Debian Sid has it all, and quite fresh.

What is it for?
The CUDA installer is smart enough to only write to the directory it installs to, so it doesn't leave any extra junk behind it.
If the question arose in relation to the organization of a computing cluster, then we use the installation of all specialized software (CUDA, Intel compilers, etc.) in /opt and then distribute /opt via NFS to all computing nodes.

Gentoo is the best distribution for developers.
