I've just built a custom 2.6.16 from current Debian kernel source and to 
my surprise this patch also fixes the issue I reported earlier: the fan 
no longer kicking in when the processor heats up (#360336) allowing it to 
overheat dangerously.

So, merging the two reports and raising severity to RC as it can cause 
hardware damage (and as there is a patch, there's no reason it should).

I've updated both upstream BRs:
