Please remove alsa-modules-2.4.27-1*



You may know all of this already but in case you don't ...

Because of bug #284356 and the fact that kernel-image-2.4.27-1 packages
affected by this bug were allowed into sarge, users of sarge and kernel
2.4.27-1 can't load modules that were built for their kernel prior to
the symbol change.  E.g., the modules in alsa-modules-2.4.27-1* won't
load because of unresolved symbols.  The result of this is that people
who have kernel 2.4.27-1 and upgrade to current testing discover to
their dismay that they no longer have sound.

The solution to #284356 was to abandon 2.4.27-1 and release 2.4.27-2
kernels instead.  However, the combinations of 2.4.27-1 kernels with
2.4.27-1 module packages are still available in sarge and are still
causing headaches.

To alleviate this problem, I request that alsa-modules-2.4.27-1* be
removed from sarge.
