This was confirmed to fix bug #704933.
1) This bug is a month old and due to a Debian patch which was rejected by the upstream kernel team. It still is't fixed in Wheezy, although it is listed as pending since April 15. 2) It was incorrectly marked against the wrong kernel version, ignoring the my attempt to correct it. 3) Its very likely the same bug as #704933, although your bug tracking system seems unable to link related bugs together. 4) Its not listed in the release notes for Wheezy as a problem installing on systems with multiple VGA controllers. 5) I had been running Wheezy for about a year, and the only issue I had with it occurred a month before it released, without the problem being considered significant to apply a known fix, or even tag it correctly, although it makes some systems unbootable.
