[Steve Kowalik]

Hi guys,

Below is my (current) changelog entry for our New World Order. Does
anyone have any comments or questions about them? Since it entails a
fairly large change to debian/, I wanted to make doubly sure before I
commit. I'll commit when everything has been done and I've had a
chance to test the changes.

  * Steve Kowalik:
    - Actually do some work on this package!
    - Check for the presence of either devfs or udev before creating device 
      nodes in alsa-base's postinst. (Closes: #243876)
    - Rewrite the init script to not load modules. Loading modules is now 
      the responsibility of the user, or hotplug.
      (Closes: #195516, #203491, #210440, #232380, #237003, #237452, #240594) 
    - Rewrite the debconf-age for alsa-base:
      + Stop asking which modules to load. (Closes: #199739, #218655)
      + Only ask one question about saving mixer settings, in the style of
        setserial.
    - Remove the files under /etc/alsa/modutils, and the symlinks
      into /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils.
    - Provide an alsa-base file under /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils 
      which will load the OSS compatibility modules.
      (Closes: #229486, #240594) (Not Done)
    - Blacklist (for hotplug) and skip (for discover) the OSS sound modules.
      (Closes: #238278, #238694, #240125, #242720) (Not Done)
  * Unreleased and untested.
