According to a recent mail on LKML [1], this should be fixed in Linux
2.6.22.
The debian-installer has not switched to this new version yet, but
packages for 2.6.22 are available from unstable.
Could you try it and see if the ordering is correct with the newer
kernel? That would be definitely helpful. :)
