[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#278766: alsa-base: upgrade changes "never autosave" to "always autosave"

[Harald Staub]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.6a-7
Severity: normal

For the setting "Save mixer settings across reboots?", I chose
"never autosave":
  # debconf-show alsa-base
  * alsa-base/alsactl_store_on_shutdown: never autosave

After updating, this changes without an opportunity to prevent it:
  # debconf-show alsa-base
  * alsa-base/alsactl_store_on_shutdown: always autosave

/etc/default/alsa gets changed accordingly.

Then, I can do
  dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base
to change it back to my setting.
I suppose this is a bug, or did I miss something?
