Yes, so this is technically a bug in the Debian package. I did not
catch the package dependency in time for the release freeze. I was
hoping no one would notice ;)

As squeeze was just released this past weekend, packages from unstable
have started migrating into the new testing (which will eventually
become wheezy) and I believe this version mismatch is a result of
a partial migration. In other words, liburcu has been updated, but ust
has not yet. If I am correct, a newer version of ust (from unstable)
should show up in testing quite soon. Would you mind listing the package
versions of the relevant pieces (ust and urcu) and also the contents of
/etc/apt/sources.list?
