A second patch is needed in order that the package is properly configured on
installation. As things stand, for any given run of alsa-base's postinst
script, only ONE of the following actions will be carried out:

* /usr/share/alsa-base/alsa-base.conf will be copied to /etc/default/alsa;

* /etc/default/alsa will be modified to reflect the requested configuration.
