Why? This is not needed.

Is it really a case of mismounting? /etc/init.d/alsa-utils is waiting
for $local_fs which, according to /etc/insserv.conf, provides
mountall. On the other hand mountall is provided by
rcS.d/S13mountall.sh. alsa-utils started as rcS.d/S26alsa-utils. As
you can recognize S26 is a bit later as S13. So all should be run
satisfyingly now.

Well the problem was that alsa-utils/alsactl installs
/lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules which is not driven by the
debian/rules but a default install from alsa's source package. See
alsa-utils/alsactl/Makkefile.in. So we removed that file from
package and delete an probably existing one by postrm.

Sorry Jidanni for my incompetence. It will never happens in future
again.

But could you please explain how /usr/bin/test, as suggested by
test(1) from you, can prevent one from such a mistake? Any help would
extend my experience ;-)

One thing Jirdanni; could you please a bit more friendly in the
future. This will push the motivation of maintainers much more
emphaticly ;-)
