Just grabbed the alsa-source package (v0.9.2 is what I have installed),
extracted it and used make-kpkg to build it for my kernel (2.4.20 with a
few patches). Then installed the resulting debs, which created the
needed /etc/modutils/alsa file. From there it's just worked.

I did have a problem where the machine would lockup on startup under
certain conditions, but I traced that back to a conflict with USB that
reared it's head if the USB modules tried to load via /etc/modules, so I
simply removed them from there and allow hotplug to load them later.
