So I restored an old version from tape and I have the same problem. I can think of 3 categorical reasons what's going on:

1. One of the retrieved udebs is causing the problem, like maybe md-modules-2.6.32-5-amd64-di - this seems somewhat unlikely
2. A configuration option has changed and suddenly my configuration has been rendered bad - this seems very unlikely
3. This only effects me and I'm totally missing how this is my fault; a definite possibility.

Would you mind running a test install and seeing if things are still working for you? If you have a chance anyway.

I've now also reproduced the problem with the 32-bit kernel as well.
