You need the alsa-base I mentioned above as well that contains the file you need.

Code:
snipped all kinds of  not revelant output

HappyTux:/home/stephen# dpkg -S alsa
alsa-base: /usr/share/doc/alsa-base
alsa-base: /etc/init.d/alsa
alsa-base: /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/changelog.Debian.gz
libasound2: /usr/share/alsa/cards/GUS.conf

alsa-modules-2.4.23.031202: /lib/modules/2.4.23.031202/alsa/snd-seq-midi-event.o
alsa-modules-2.4.23.031202, alsa-base: /var/lib/alsa-base
alsa-base: /etc/devfs/conf.d/alsa
libasound2: /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf
As you can see the file is in the alsa-base package.
