[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#400612: Migrating to sarge to etch, options device_mode left around

[Francesco Paolo Lovergine]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.13-2
Severity: important

After migrating a sarge box to etch, /etc/modprobe.d/sound is still
around with an entry

	options snd device_mode=0660

which causes failure in loading snd module with 2.6.17+

Please, manage better this kind of issue, because the resulting
Undefined symbol xxx long list can really upset a common user.
Minimally please document and warn users in /usr/share/doc

Cheers.
