Hi,
your package produces a udeb (alsa-utils-udeb) which creates an empty
directory in an aliased location:
lib/debian-installer-startup.d/
Shipping files/directories in aliased locations is no longer allowed an
will trigger the "aliased-location" error
which will prevent testing migration going forward.
This directory is created via debian/alsa-utils-udeb.dirs, and while the
udeb package was updated in 1.2.10-1.1 to use non-aliased locations for
its files, this particular spot was missed apparently.
Seeing that debian/alsa-utils-udeb.dirs is not actually needed, the
attached debdiff simply drops this file.
Please consider to apply the attached change with your next upload.
Regards,
Michael

Changed-By: Michael Biebl <[email protected]>
Closes: 1125915
Changes:
alsa-utils (1.2.15.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload.
* Drop debian/alsa-utils-udeb.dirs.
It's not actually needed and produces a directory in an aliased location,
which is no longer allowed. (Closes: #1125915)
* Do not use package-less debhelper configuration files.
Those will be deprecated in debhelper compat 15.
* Simplify installation of udev rules and systemd service files.
Backports to old-stable are not really a concern, so we can assume that
everything is installed into /usr/lib.
* Remove no longer needed migration code
* Drop README.Debian.
It contains mostly outdated and no longer relevant information.
