That is odd, but probably easier to track down on a stable system (if
it is a software problem)

There's nothing in the changelog that indicates any changes when it
comes to fans, at least as far as I can tell.

You should be able to just grab the older package from
snapshot.debian.net and manually install (downgrade) it.

Yes, trying earlier kernels is probably a good idea, and possibly other
parts that might have changed, libsensor, lm-sensor? Or what it is that
fancontrol uses.
