As horrid as it sounds I have had near-perfect pcmcia on debian for 
years.. I compile my own kernels and so have always just grabbed the 
latest pcmcia stuff from sourceforge, done a
make && make install
and boom, it works..

Leave the debian package installed, just blow over the top of it.

It took me a little while to get it working well with the kernel drivers 
instead of the pcmcia-supplied drivers, but now I have that working I 
don't need to recompile my pcmcia package when I upgrade the kernel.
