Yes, it is reasonable to do so, and it is supposed to work.

On the other hand, it is possible that the wheezy/sid userspace is able to
avoid trouble somehow.  So if you have time to try 2.6.32-21 from
http://snapshot.debian.org, too, to confirm you can still reproduce
the problem, that would be most useful.

No, we really do want squeeze to work.

Thanks and hope that clarifies a little,
