One approach

is to build the alsa modules yourself. If you want to have any hope of keeping your install halfway clean, then you need to get those files tracked by dpkg so we avoid conflicts when the modules are fixed. There’s a simple solution:

sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa

This utilizes the handy module-assistant package to automatically build alsa for you. :) Reboot and enjoy!
