Dear Maintainer,

On test new installation process on trixie debian version it appear that
they are no **alsa-oss** package on trixie dist. But it's present into
forky/sid and bookworm. is it an oversight or a deliberate choice ?

Thanks

I've noticed this as well. It's a really weird issue. You usually don't
see packages that are in Testing but not in Stable.
