Turns out I had to compile a new one. The latest vm on squeakvm.org does not work on debian because libc6 is to old and debian does unfortunately not provide a better one. But cuis is working now. Thanks for the tips.

While doing that I took a look at the debian source package of squeak-vm. According to the changelog the uploader of the package is Jonas Smedegaard <dr at jones.dk>. Maybe he is listening here and can add some insight? Because as far as I can see the package is build from the src tarball from squeakvm.org. The same one I used. Really odd.
