/usr/[share/]doc/kernel-package has an extensive README and alsa-source
also has /usr/src/modules/alsadriver[-unstable]/debian/README , that
explains all, that is to do for compiling and running debian packages
of the kernel and the alsa-modules. Kernel modules do depend on a
specific kernel, unless you have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set in the kernel
configuration, but how can dpkg or the package maintainer know, if you
have this set? So a "depend" or "conflict" on a kernel revision seems
resonable. You can always force an installation over this, if you want
and you know what you're doing...
