I think those are all the same bug.

For what it's worth, my home router is running the new version without
any such problem.

As there aren't any major changes to hardware support in this version,
there will be little benefit from rebuilding the installer using
3.2.60-1.  So I'm OK with leaving wheezy as it is.

I'm hoping to be able to fix the regressions (probably with a revert) in
another security update by the time of the point release.
