Yes, wheezy1 one time and sid at every other time, I've never used an
old image to rescue the system, always the squeeze debian-installer
image. From there I've mounted the required FSs and "dpkg -i
qcontrol_0.4.2+svn-r40-3_armel.deb" to install the sid package and
rebuild the initrd.

No problem with d-i as rescue, it's the only one I've used so far ;-)
I'll give it a try when there's some spare time to do this. On the
ohter hand... I'm happy with the sid version, so I can use my LCD with a
nice self-built menu .)

OK, then I can confirm the wheezy2 version fixes the bug and I'll
probably have to open another bug when I know which part of the
system blocks the boot :)
