Hi Ben,

thank you very much for your cooperation!

What I don't understand is: Why does the debian package build
against a plain, vanilla build? There we have both the same for
/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/build and /lib/modules/$(KVERS)/source which
are different to the Debian kernels. If I merge source and build
from the Debian ones, alsa drivers are build well. If your patch is
needed to get alsa drivers build against Debian kernels this is a
"Debian specific" solution. BTW, IIRC the drivers build well till
Debain-2.6.26 or so. This is a bit suspicious for me. As well I
noticed no bug against upstream version which is similar to ours....

There is a new bug coming up from 2.6.33. Here we have
include/generated which is unknown to make-kpkg modules-image.
