Done so, in exact same way, using 

Debian GNU/Linux testing "Wheezy" - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110929-15:53

Install was done in graphical mode, with exact same options as last time on stable.
This time the Windows grub entry was picked up, and working. So was the entry for the Linux install. One odd thing though: Booting into Windows presented an odd error message in something that reminded me of white Windows fonts on the Debian/Grub boot screen:

error: no argument specified
Press any key to continue

The message hangs there in 5-10 seconds, then Windows starts as usual. Never seen this before. This message was NOT present at my earlier, corrected Squeeze-install. There also is a slight difference in the two grub.cfg's. 

Finally, I did not get the install to pick up any mirror's during
install, dispite the fact that the wireless was recognized and
configured. Did 10-15 attempts. Had no indications of a missing
internet connection, but can't say for sure. Ctrl+Alt+F4 did not give
any clues. This left me with a VERY minimal install. I manually
added entries in sources.list and installed gnome and gdm3, logged in
graphically, and opened synaptic to get my favourite apps. Then
synaptic segfaulted instantly, and my adventure with testing came to an
end ;-) Done this before, I had a partimage image ready, and now
Squeeze is back.

Here is some dumps/cut'n paste. Hope some is relevant. Keep up the good work!
