Today the package has been also removed from my system (wheezy) let's see
how it goes. Until now, I have not experienced any problem but I use a
common configuration (full GUI with gnome3 and gnome-shell).

Good that you have it sorted out :-)
Let me restart the system and see what happens now the package has been
removed. (restared) It looks normal, "amixer" shows all the I/O are
toggled "on".

Well, you can "unmute" any of the detected input/outputs by this command
that can be run on system boot:
amixer set PCM 100 unmute
Not sure if this will help in your case, though... maybe using "alsactl"
to store the volume/unmuted options is preferable :-?
