Ok, this is really weird.  Just to make sure the facts are right,
I'd like to ask for one more test.

Please install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 version 3.2.12-1 from
snapshot.debian.org and let us know how it goes.  Based on [1]
it looks like that is the version from 2012-03-21, so one way to
do this would be:

 cat <<EOF >>/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20120322T000000Z/ sid main
EOF
 apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
 apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false install \
	linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64=3.2.12-1
 sed -i -e '/20120321T/ d' /etc/apt/sources.list
 apt-get update

Thanks again and sorry for the fuss,
Jonathan
