You can use the current vmlinuz image in combination with e.g. the initrd from
etch's D-I, as described in Aurelien's site:

  http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php

Perhaps it's better to wait untill D-I support is complete (soon, I expect),
although in the end there's no way to avoid a short timeframe in which this
hack doesn't work.

So maybe the best would be to wait for current package to propagate to testing
instead?

Not a big deal anyway, IMHO.
