I have the same issue when trying to upgrade my Qnap TS-209. Did anyone
find a solution for this?

I suspect it has to do with my removing of
http://people.debian.org/~tbm/orion from /etc/apt/sources.list (as there
is no squeeze distribution there). So I'm currently running kernel
2.6.32-5-orion5x from Martin's repository, but when "upgrading" to
2.6.32-5-orion5x from the main squeeze repository, I get the error
reported above. At least I think that's what's happening.

Anyway, if you don't have them yet, I can make the initrd.img files
available, although I'm not sure I have the one that fits anymore. I ran
the upgrade command twice, and the only 2.6.32-5 initrd files that I
have are:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4217759 Feb 21 13:04 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-orion5x
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4217762 Feb 21 13:03 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-orion5x.dpkg-bak

Thanks in advance for looking into this, and let me know if I should
provide any more information.

Cheers,
