Thanks for the report, I don't have any hardware with a watchdog which
has Debian installed just yet so I missed this during the backport.

Please could you try reinstalling 0.4.2-7+wheezy1 and replacing the
script with the attached version which uses the qcommand wrapper instead
of the current thing. Then run "update-initramfs -u" (I think this runs
flash-kernel automatically, if not you may need to do it by hand) and
reboot.

qcommand is probably right thing to use even in the Sid version,
although qcontrol --direct happens to work too. I also made it use
qcommand -t to check for supported hardware.
