That or 3.3.3-hammer (needed for proper amd64 suppport too) or just a patch against 3.3. As far as I've been told, the problem is with glibc though. And the whole release management thing blocking sid in such a way is a non sense imho. But that has been discussed over and over again, all I can say is that I don't agree :) Ben.
