That is unfortunate :-/

Testing is already in "deep freeze"[1].  I do not expect the release
team to accept a new upstream release at this point, they would likely
prefer backported patches (only those relevant to fix RC bugs, see the
last announcement from the release team I linked to) or consider removal
of the version currently in testing (that is not include gdisk in
Squeeze).

Uploading a newer version to unstable before having decided what to do
with the package in testing will complicate things: fixes targeted at
Squeeze might have to go through testing-proposed-updates and get less
testing by users before arriving in the testing distribution.  Please
think about how you would like to proceed, you might also want to ask
the release team (debian-rele...@lists.d.o).
