Yes, sorry for not including the full context. The proximate problem is
that pulseaudio also ships files in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d, and was
thus broken by the change in alsa.

However, I question whether that was a good idea at all: users don't
usually need to modify these files, and making me ship the files in /etc is
a bad idea, because then they would be left after remove.
