Did you read my use cases for alsa-source and ndiswrapper-source?
When you try to dpkg -i the output of alsa-source and it breaks,
you can fix it. When you try to dpkg -i the output of
ndiswrapper-source and it breaks, you can't fix it because now your
network card is hosed.
Just answer that to my satisfaction and I'll shut up.
All I know is that I had a great deal of trouble with the upgrade
and noticed that my -utils was out of sync with my -source.
Your atitude has been combattive and non-productive.
