Not really sure about that (I've only been using Debian about 2 1/2 weeks), I've used make-kpkg to build my own 2.4.19 kernel with low-latency and pre-emptive patches included and also to add the NVIDIA graphics drivers, but I did ALSA the old way. One thing to remember with Debian is that they do modules.conf in a different way from other distributions. There is a directory called /etc/modutils -- add your ALSA stuff (aliases, options pre-install, post-install etc.) to that directory in a file called (say) alsasound and the use update-modules to update modules.conf. (If you just manually put things into modules.conf, then when you add something that adds modules it will destroy yours alsa setup).
