[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#521728: alsa-base: /usr/sbin/alsa never run

[Tatsuki Sugiura]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.19.dfsg-2
Severity: normal


/usr/sbin/alsa script checks existance of '/lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install',
however no package have this file. So the script never run.

Is this script obsolete?
'/etc/init.d/alsa-utils' seems to provide similar function, but that
script isn't able to unload modules.
