This problem has already been reported as a bug

The fault lies with the kernel-image package: its symbol version suffixes
changed from one Debian revision to the next, which should not happen.
(This breaks most modules compiled for that kernel image.)

Either alsa-modules* will be upgraded or new kernel-image-2.4.27 packages
will be released that contains kernels with the old symbol version
suffixes.
In the meantime you can build your own alsa-modules package from the
sources shipped in the alsa-source package using the make-kpkg utility
(provided in the kernel-package package).
