I haven't tested 2.6.15 because it isn't available in my mirror yet. But
the Nathanael posts tell us that the problem is still present in the
latest kernel.
As soon as it will be available on the mirror i use, i'll test 2.6.15.
Ok, 2.6.15 is arrived.
I've tryed to install linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 (version 2.6.15-1), then
to purge it and the operation failed. But now, it doesn't hang as stated
in the bug reports, but fails with an error:

But since the "486" flavour is a new entry, i've also tryed
linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp, which i know was failing during purge
(while i was investigating for bug #344767, i had also tested
linux-image-2.6.14-2-686-smp (2.6.14-6), and it hanged like the others):
the purge operation for 2.6.15-686-smp failed like 486 flavour:
