ALSA module snd-detect missing

[Joseph Barillari]

Hi.

The alsaconf package in unstable uses a module called snd-detect to
detect installed sound cards:

(from /usr/sbin/alsaconf)
<snip>
DETECTFILE=/proc/asound/detect
<snip>
# Autodetection (if detect module is present)
autodetect() {
  AUTODET=false
  modprobe snd-detect > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  [ -f $DETECTFILE ] || return
 <snip>

The alsa-modules-2.4.19-686 package does not include snd-detect. Nor
does packages.debian.org indicate that a similarly-named file exists
anywhere in Debian.

Is this an oversight? If it is, what is proper Debian protocol? Do I
post on debian-devel, or just bug the ALSA package maintainers
directly?

Thanks,

--Joe
