If you have your original debian net-inst dvd, it's probably time to put the dvd into the drive then reboot the computer into rescue mode. Then run fsck.ext4 -c /dev/sda1 and watch the fun. This will use badblocks nondestructively and set off a repair operation which should end up with you h

OK, the problem is solved. If ever you happen to be in the same situation and have to recover data from a partition with damaged primary superblock, you can try the following. We use an example where the failing partition is /dev/hda4 with block size 4kb and an intact backup superblock at block 32
