Mine works here, but was there any errors with dpkg when installing?
Also, did you get the right one for your computer? Eg. x86 for x86
machines.

I also found a Debian recommendation to modify /etc/fstab in order to
get the file systems recognized, but I'm reluctant to do so for fear of
losing the ability to boot any kernel at all.

err... just get a rescue cd, if it won't boot, put it in the cd drive,
boot it mount your linux partition open
/mntp/to/linux/partition/etc/fstab
And remove those lines, reboot back into your linux 2.6.23 kernel...
