Maintaining the Debian ALSA packages

If the bug is Debian ALSA packages related to the Debian BTS

The Debian ALSA packages are based on the raw ALSA sources. The
packages are prepared to build on the (maeanwhile 12 or so) suported
archs. So if one wants to change the build environment and found a
bug this is really _not_ Debian related. If we can point out this we
recommend to file the _non_ Debian related bug to upstream. Those
bugs are not distribution related and should be (if any) fixed
upstream. This is users fault, though.
