Considering with this move, we'll be likely removing the alsa-base
debconfage as well, and the amount of time I spent getting that
complete and utter pile of shite to work properly 90% of the time was
just insane. Personally, I'm happy to see them go, along with the
horse they rode in on.

I know it's a PITA for the requirements to change, but the
requirements for a project may change over time. Does that help at all?

Culling back the init script to be modprobe-less, and removing
debconfage from alsa-base, and changing alsa-source to be a
multiselect sounds like a good nights work. 

Due to the above paragraph, we should be able to close #195516,
#199739, #203491, #210440, #218655, #226781, #232380, #232854 and
#237003.

9 out of 64 bugs isn't much, but it's a start, and it also makes
alsa-base's config not exist, and the postinst much simpler.

Cheers,
