That did work, many thanks. Unless you guys want to have this be the
default, or detect it (the presence of an MDA card only would make it
reasonable, I think) this can be closed. Sorry to have bothered y'all,
but I didn't figure this would relate to the FB, and #debian turned up
nothing. On we go.
