Good.

What makes you think so? Here's what I see in the last Jenkins build
of experimental:
linux-image-3.11-2-486 3.11.8-1
linux-image-3.11-2-686-pae 3.11.8-1

The new version of linux-headers-* depends on gcc-4.8, because sid's
kernel is now built with that version IIRC, but in practice stuff we
care about compiles just well with the Squeeze version of GCC.
Official backports downgrade this dependency, IIRC. We've been doing
the same trick basically forever, see: we have gcc-4.{6,7} for the
same reasons already.

Please go ahead :)
