Hans: thank you for the tip. Sadly I don't know what happened, but the
following commands successfully elided the noisy boot I was
experiencing:
sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64
sudo aptitude reinstall grub-common grub-pc grub2-common
As for the hang on system reboot, I found a fix which I'll document
here for the benefit of others:
The Arch Linux Wiki said "This is a problem on many laptops and can be
fixed by blacklisting the e1000e kernel module."[1]
I did this:
sudo echo "blacklist e1000e" > /etc/modules.d/e100e.conf
sudo rmmod e1000e
sudo reboot
And the problem is fixed! The e1000e module was not used by any other
modules according to the output of lsmod either.

Thanks for the help,
Frank.
