The answer (not only the one from Marco), was that etch will not

Could user application 'deal somehow' with 2.4 kernels making the
administrator aware that they will need a 2.6 kernel to work at all?
since upstream is not willing to integrate a runtime check in the
short
term and I cannot support such an intrusive unofficial patch
(which, BTW,
does not exist at all ATM).
Why do you say that it would be intrusive? It looks to me like a
simple
change to support building more than one select interface at a
time, and
using the best one that works. If such a patch existed, would you
consider
applying it?
Squid has a comm interface with different modules (poll, select and
epoll on linux, kqueue on freebsd, etc) choosen at build time. I
agree with upstream that compiling more than one comm module takes a
big change in one of the critical section and they are not willing to
make such a change to a stable release.
In alternative a new comm module based on libevent could be added.
libevent would support both epoll() and poll() and is in debian as of
now. I don't have the skills to create such a patch, but would
happily propose it upstream and include in the debian package.
Thanks,
