Discovered this thread explaining the motivation for removing alsaconf:

I'd like to add that I see a lot of support traffic on #ubuntu wondering where alsaconf is. They come from other distros, or they read documentation online that tells them to run it. While ubuntu has arguably better solutions for sound configuration, and while alsaconf apparently introduces some packaging difficulty, it's a useful utility and I think its inclusion would solve more problems (from an end-user point of view) than it causes (from a maintainer perspective).
