I may need to rephrase the problem: There's a difference between 2.6.24 and
2.6.25, which made the upgrade non-smooth with respect to sound on my system.

No, there were no kernel failures reported.

While I realize the problem the nvidia blob presents, this is a sad position
to take. Installing software from the Debian repository with module-assistant
made my kernel bug reports uninteresting?
I would try without the nvidia blob, but it's too much of a bother (because it
also requires a different X configuration). As you said, the sound problem is
solved on my system; the bug was filed in hope of improving the upgrade
experience for others.
Have fun,
