reopen 599273 found 599273 2:4.02+dfsg-7 thanks the squeeze version of extlinux installs the /etc/kernel/*.d/zz-extlinux files mode 0644, so while the permissions may have been fixed in 4.01+dfsg-4 the bug re-appeared in the version in squeeze. so this bug affects new squeeze installations and squeeze -> wheezy upgrades.
IMO this bug needs a more robust fix (chmod +x in maintainer script).
