Why not a separate package (let's call it "ossemul-deprecate.dpkg"),
shipped with the stock ubuntu, which contains just a file:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ossemul.conf

with "blacklist snd_pcm_oss" inside? (eventually add other oss emulation
modules if opportune)

It would disable oss emulation by default,  but still if, for any reason, one 
would like to get oss emulation back, he should just uninstall the above 
package (through CLI, GUI or anything) and would be up and running in a matter 
of seconds.
This would avoid any dkms compile complication or source misalignment, and it 
would require 0 manutention effort.

Also (desiderable, but not needed) packages known *not* to work without
oss emulation could be marked conflicting with that package, such
preserving usability during with the oss dismission plan.

Wouldn't anyone be happy in this way? If not could the maintainers
please explain if (and why) such solution is not applicable?
