Hmm, have you tried installing the kernel-image type of kernel and see 
if it gives you errors?

I know the boys from Sidux (sidux.com) use a modified kernel, if they 
have this bug licked, it might be worth it to add their repos to your 
default Sid's and move to sidux. (ask in the #sidux in the IRC (OFTC 
server).
