So here's the score:
unionfs and squashfs were both removed from testing due to release-critical
bugs. The bugs in both packages have been fixed, so they should be able to
get back into testing again.
Both packages are out-of-date on arm because the module metapackages they
previously generated are now built *by* linux-modules-extra-2.6, and
l-m-e-2.6 has not yet built successfully on arm.
Previously, l-m-e-2.6 didn't build on arm because of an internal consistency
failure when compiling squashfs.
Now, it's impossible to check whether this bug is still present on arm,
because l-m-e-2.6 now has an unsatisfiable build-dependency in unstable on
linux-support-2.6.18-1.
So l-m-e-2.6 needs to be uploaded with a fixed build-dependency before we
can even *try* to see whether squashfs needs further fixes on arm for etch.
