I presume, then, that you don't have a via82xx- or emu10k1-driven card?

I doubt this is an alsa-lib issue.  If the answer to the above question is "no, neither", then the bug is really
in the alsa-driver source package (generating the alsa-base binary).  In debian/alsa-base.modprobe we see
that via82xx- and emu10k1-driven (but not other) cards already load snd-seq, which provides /dev/sequencer.

Resolved in Ubuntu (Oct 2006) by loading snd-seq unconditionally:
install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe -Qb snd-seq ; }
