The Alpha installer has had no work done on it since Lenny I suspect.

I see that the file debian/installer/alpha/modules/alpha/crc-modules
lists crc32.   I can't find any crc32 module in the kernel.  Maybe the
crc-modules file should be modified to be:

#include <crc-modules>

as it is on some of the other architectures.

Or as you suggest we could disable building udebs on alpha for the
present and leave this as a problem to fix for the future.

Cheers
Michael.
