[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#915675: libasound2-data: Kernel 4.18 change breaks WD15 dock usb audio

[Angus Lees]

Yes, understood.

I don't know much about these files, but I gather the udev rule is the
entrypoint and refers to the desired file by name.  Perhaps we can have two
files and make the udev rule point to the right one by kernel version?
(assuming we can't do anything clever within the file itself)
