I found these pages:

http://jamie.lentin.co.uk/devices/dlink-dns325/
http://jamie.lentin.co.uk/devices/dlink-dns325/keeping-original-firmware/

They say that these models use a Kirkwood SoC (so the kirkwood kernel
and installer flavours should be used) and that they are supported by
the standard kernel package in wheezy-backports but not wheezy.

Given that the instructions include writing a custom kernel install
hook, I would assume that flash-kernel doesn't support these models and
therefore this bug should be reassigned to flash-kernel.  But there may
be other changes needed elsewhere.

Ben.
