First, thanks very much for writing.  Let's get this fixed. :)

As for your question, the short answer is: I don't know.  I can
provide an updated kernel to test (and would be very interested in the
result), but I do not know how to tell the Debian installer to use it.

d-i team: advice?

Thanks,
Jonathan
