This is hard-coded into the control file; see the following bug for the
reasoning:

I've built a bpo that removes the pre-depends/conflicts; however, a)
it's for i386 (and I'm assuming you're using amd64?), and b) I have no
idea if it'll explode w/ lenny's glibc.  Feel free to test it and
report back, though.  If it works and the change is safe, I'll go ahead
and upload to bpo.  If it doesn't work or is somehow unsafe (and I've
hopefully cc'd the relevant alsa-lib folks), we'll have to
either live without multiarch support for the bpo or get a proper fix
together for it.
