Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.5a-1
Severity: minor
Insofar as a file relates to alsa packaging it's reasonable to call
it after a particular package but insofar as it configures the ALSA
system (and happens to be in the alsa-base package) it should be
called 'alsa'.
The files in /etc/modutils and /etc/modprobe.d that configure the
module loaders for ALSA should have the name 'alsa', just like the
initscript and several other files related to the ALSA system.
Likewise /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base should be
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa.
There is a file /usr/share/alsa-base/alsa-base.conf which seems to
be used as a template for creating /etc/default/alsa. Presumably
it should be called something like '/usr/share/alsa-base/default/alsa'
or something along those lines.
Configuration files (including conffiles) can be renamed in the preinst
using the following procedure:
if [ -f file-under-old-name ] ; then
if [ -f file-under-new-name ] ; then
mv file-under-old-name file-under-old-name.dpkg-old
else
mv file-under-old-name file-under-new-name
fi
fi
The alsa-base package also includes a /var/lib/alsa-base directory
which should be removed. The alsa-utils package includes an
(appropriately named) /var/lib/alsa directory. If alsa-base needs
to keep records somewhere then it should also use /var/lib/alsa/.

I think we can leave /etc/modutils/alsa-base as it is. It will be
history when Linux 2.4 is.
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base can also be left as it is because it is not
the only module loader configuration file for ALSA. There is also
/etc/modprobe.d/sound generated by alsaconf.

Fixed in CVS.
