This will have a potentially severe impact on upgrades from
lenny->squeeze, namely you force libasound2 to be upgraded and
configured before vlc-nox is upgraded. Is this really what you want to
achieve?

I guess that if you test that this works, this change, if properly
documented in debian/changelog, would be great to have for squeeze.
