The default Debian configuration is not affected.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in

archive scripts this update cannot be released synchronously with the
stable update. It will be available shortly.

version 3.30.0-3+squeeze1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your super packages.
