This has now been fixed in SVN and should appear in the next release.
For reference, here is the text of the file.

kernel-source-2.6.11 (2.6.11-1) unstable; urgency=low
* This release drops the tg3 driver. Previously, it was included, but
with (non-free) firmware stripped out. Instead, from now on, it will
be in a separate package; kernel-nonfree-source-2.6.11. This package
is in non-free, and contains the full tg3 driver (with firmware), as
well as a number of other drivers that have been removed from Debian's
kernel-source packages for quite some time.
