Most Debian users build their own kernels anyway, I bet.

For anyone trawling the archives, preemption is disabled as of 2.6.17-2 (for the -k7 kernel, at least):

$ grep PREEMPT /boot/config-2.6.17-2-k7
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL is not set
