After my investigation, I can reproduce your situation and find
that a priority of libfreeamp-alsa is optional though priorities
of ALSA packages are extra.
To check whether this information is correct, you can change the
following section in your
/var/state/apt/lists/
<your_host>_debian_dists_woody_main_binary-i386_Packages:
Package: libfreeamp-alsa
Version: 2.0.6-2
Priority: optional
to
Package: libfreeamp-alsa
Version: 2.0.6-2
Priority: extra
and do apt-get dist-upgrade.
Whether or not, this is a policy violation. A priority of libfreeamp-alsa
should be extra.
