There is [1], but it doesn't get updated as frequently.

Oh, right. The relevant Debian-specific change is
* Enable BCMA as module, BCMA_HOST_PCI and B43_BCMA (Closes: #649567)
but limit these to devices not supported by brcmsmac
To get brcmsmac, disable BCMA:
make nconfig
Device Drivers → Broadcom specific AMBA → BCMA support: N
Device Drivers → Network device support → Wireless LAN →
Broadcom IEEE802.11n PCIe SoftMAC WLAN driver: M
Or from the command line:
scripts/config --disable BCMA
scripts/config --module BRCMSMAC
Sorry for the fuss.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
