Thanks Lucas.

It is a bit strange that despite using Sid, your rebuild system used the lower
version from Squeeze. Seaview has migration problems because it has no been
picked by the armel, ia64, mips, mipsel and powerpc non-free autobuilders yet,
but on amd64 its version in Sid is 1:4.2-1.

Anyway, the bug is there in 1:4.2-1 as well.

Do not hesitate to let me know if the GCC 4.4 error is trivial to fix, because
for the moment I do not have a solution other than forwarding Upstream.
