Bug#867483: haskell-alsa-core: FTBFS on non-Linux: alsa >=1.0.14 required

Source: haskell-alsa-core
Version: 0.5.0.1-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds of haskell-alsa-core on kFreeBSD and the Hurd have been failing:

  hlibrary.setup: The pkg-config package 'alsa' version >=1.0.14 is required but
  the version installed on the system is version 1.0.5
  /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk:142: recipe for target 'configure-ghc-stamp' failed
  make: *** [configure-ghc-stamp] Error 1

On these platforms, libasound2-dev is a virtual package provided by
liboss4-salsa-dev, which hasn't kept up with recent ALSA API changes.
Could you please take a look?  I'd suggest versioning the build
dependency on libasound2-dev to (>= 1.0.14) to match the stated
requirement.

Thanks!
