Oops, yes of course. Obviously I've been working too much with non-Debian
systems recently ;-)

A more general question - what's the current status of kernel support for
SD/MMC cards? I haven't been keeping track.

Apparently there are now 512 MB MMC cards available:

So those would be an alternative to SD, especially if a more stable
driver (under active open source development) exists. MMC doesn't have
the silly Digital Restriction Management features that prevent
open-sourced SD drivers.
