The Sheevaplug is now supported using a Flattened Device Tree (FDT) rather than just the machine ID. You should install flash-kernel from wheezy-backports as well, as the newer version knows how to handle this. To fix the bug properly, we need to add a versioned 'Breaks: flash-kernel' to this package to avoid this situation where only the kernel is upgraded. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Q.
