Re: Shouldn't kernel-image-2.6.x-y-z depend on alsa-base ?

That's not a bad idea. We already have the problem that the ALSA drivers
in the kernel-image packages are out of date relative to the ALSA
libraries in alsa-lib. (Currently, the drivers in kernel-image-2.6.8 are
version 1.0.4 but alsa-lib in sarge is version 1.0.8.) Omitting the ALSA
drivers from kernel-image packages would solve this problem by forcing
people to install up-to-date alsa-modules packages.

There already exist separate alsa modules packages. Currently we only
build them for 2.4 kernels, though.
