There is a bug filed for that (http://bugs.debian.org/525958), however
I don't know what effect removal of this driver will have on machines
which do not have another console (like no framebuffer device). I would
like to ask people to test this change before uploading it into the
archive. Unfortunately, the current kernel in instable is completely
broken, so the first step is to get it to boot again, kernel team should
be doing a new upload within the next few days.
Best regards,
