I'm not going to insist that it's a blocker for the release though I
will be very disappointed if we don't fix it. I think we will.

We can't support two different kernel versions but we can potentially
update the DRM drivers to the versions in Linux 3.4.y. This is covered
by bug #687442 which I've marked as blocking this bug.
Julien Cristau prepared some packages for testing before we make this
change. Here's how you would install them with APT:
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --export 310180050905E40C | apt-key add -
echo deb http://people.debian.org/~jcristau/wheezy-drm34/ ./ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jcristau-wheezy-drm34.list
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-4.drm-amd64 # or -486, or -686-pae
Please test and send your results (good or bad) to
687442@bugs.debian.org

Most of those are bug fixes that we already had and that Julien
requested for 3.4.y.
