I guessed so, the ifupdown-extra package in version 0.14 has the
location hardcoded for iputils-arping's arping binary which is in
/usr/bin/, so even if it adverstise arping as an alternative package
to provide the binary it was not prepared to work with it.

This has been fixed already in  ifupdown-extra  (0.16) along with
other differences between iputil's arping and arping's arping

   * if-up-scripts/check-duplicate-ip:
     - Make it possible to use arping's arping which: is located in another
       directory, interprets parameters differently and does not support -q.
     Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn for bringing up this issue
     and providing a patch which I base the changes on (Closes: #614056)

You can find the full changes introduced in
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ifupdown-extra.git;a=commitdiff;h=47f06fa5f6400ea1369421d86f5a040f00a1ec94

I will try to push a fix for stable, for the time being, you can
easily install the latest ifupdown-extra package from testing or
unstable. They should install without any issues in a Squeeze system.

Javier
