I'm sorry, but I don't think that is allowed by policy. The only way
to do this would be to split out pnpbios-tools to its own source
package, but I don't want to do that. If I did that I'd have to create
my own .orig.tar.gz, so there wouldn't be an upstream one to compare
with to make sure it's the same.

Well, you are free to close the bug report yourself since you're the
one who opened it. But I'm going to leave it open at severity
wishlist, because I think there needs to be some info in a
README.Debian about this.

Yes, it's available in /sys/bus/pnp. These utilities are quite old and
should be updated to support the /sys interface. I don't know if the
/proc interface was disabled in 2.6.12 or if it depends on how you
configured the kernel when you built it. At least my Debian 2.6.8
kernel has the /proc interface.
