1) This bug is a month old and due to a Debian patch which was rejected
by the upstream kernel team. It still is't fixed in Wheezy, although
it is listed as pending since April 15.
2) It was incorrectly marked against the wrong kernel version, ignoring
the my attempt to correct it.
3) Its very likely the same bug as #704933, although your bug tracking
system seems unable to link related bugs together.
4) Its not listed in the release notes for Wheezy as a problem
installing on systems with multiple VGA controllers.
5) I had been running Wheezy for about a year, and the only issue I had
with it occurred a month before it released, without the problem
being considered significant to apply a known fix, or even tag it
correctly, although it makes some systems unbootable.
WTF?
