Please do as root:

# dpkg --purge --force-all alsa-base
# apt-get install -f

Aha!

/etc/modprobe.d had a copy of alsa-base.dpkg-dist in it; I unpacked the current alsa-base debian as well. A quick copy of alsa-base.dpkg- dist to alsa-base makes everything work now. (/etc/init.d/alsa reload actually reloads the sound modules.)

Thank you very much. I think the original problem remains, however: following the default choices during upgrades leads to a non- functioning system. Is there anything else you would like me to check?
