Severity: grave
Justification: breaks other packages

This is very irritating. The most recent upgrade to hotplug caused
ALSA to stop loading properly, and consequently did the same thing to ARTS,
which declared that it couldn't open /dev/dsp.

Nice work. I thought you were going to coordinate with the ALSA mantainers
to prevent this breakage from getting into sarge?
