Why do you think so? You get a question from debconf to replace your _user changed_ alsa-base with the version of the maintainers one. The default is userfriendly, which means to keep the users version ;) If alsa-base would be the maintainers version, it will be replaced with the new one without asking user, though. > Is there anything else you would like me to check?
