Hi,

the /etc/alsa/modutils stuff should be obsolete. The error is that those
old files are only removed if you uninstall the package, not if you
upgrade it from an older version.

So I suggest putting this piece of code in alsa-base.postinst:

if [ "$1" = "config" -o "$1" = "reconfigure" ]; then
    for file in /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 \
        /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0.debconf-backup /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9.debconf-backup \
        /etc/modprobe.d/alsa /etc/modutils/alsa; do
        { [ -e "$file" ] || [ -L "$file" ]; } && rm -f "$file"
    done
fi

cheers, Bastian
