Looking into this a bit more closely, this seems to be triggered by this upstream change:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=a668a94238dc67b19ae187b52a161e027d79ee5d Apparently the smixer plugins are broken without python support enabled, which makes me wonder, why no-one noticed that in the Debian package so far. I assume that the smixer modules are purely optional and not actually used by libasound2. Given that the modules are installed as /usr/lib/$(MULTIARCH)/alsa-lib/smixer this will also make a library transition for libasound more complicated, as you get file conflicts when there is a soname bump and you have a libasound2 and libasound3 package. As smixer seemingly provides only optional functionality, please split that out into a libasound-plugins-smixer or similarly named package and maybe add a Suggests to libasound2.
