That's weird.  make-kpkg has never tried to sign a package for me
before.  Maybe my configuration is messed.  Or they just added it
recently.

Hmm.  Random question: which alsaconf package do you have installed?
alsaconf or alsaconf-0.4?  I think that you want the alsaconf package.

I'm not sure what you mean by "created a file *set*
/etc/alsa/modules/1.0".  On my system, /etc/alsa/modules/1.0 is just a
normal file.  Maybe try deleting it, and just running alsaconf.  It
looks like alsaconf creates both 1.0 and 0.5 files.

Make sure that there is a symbolic link from /etc/modutils/alsa to
/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 (I think that alsaconf should create this link),
and that update-modules gets run (I think that alsaconf should do this,
but it doesn't hurt to run it again).

I remember ALSA was painful to get working.  Unfortunately, I don't
remember all the things that I needed to do.
