Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.2c-3
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #236543

This problem is actually due to the way depmod is called in the postinst
maintainer script.  The generated postinst script calls:

   depmod -a 2.4.24-ar-k7 || :

Where 2.4.24-ar-k7 is the version of the kernel I compiled it for.  If
this call was instead:

   depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-2.4.24-ar-k7 2.4.24-ar-k7 || :

It would not generate these errors.  The attached patch appears to
correct this.
