One would think that doing

# aptitude install alsa-ucm-conf

a non dependency, would fix it.

Alas, no:

# alsactl restore

Hi Dan,

severity critical means "makes unrelated software on the system (or
the whole system) break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces
a security hole on systems where you install the package."

So is your system damaged or burned down? Did you loose any data?
Severity reseted hereby.

According to this issue the error is harmless for the legacy
hardware.

According to this issue one can add -U parameter to the alsactl call
in the initscripts (systemd or whatever). This issue is tagged
'wonfix' as I do with this bug as well.
