IMHO, it's much more elegant to query the eeepc model using dmidecode, then 
write the config file, e.g.:

-----------
model=`dmidecode -s system-product-name`

case $model in
	901|1000|1000H)
		echo eeepc 901 detected: ralink, ra0, bluetooth
		volume_label='Master'
		headphone_label='Headphone'
		wifi_driver='rt2860sta'
		wifi_iface='ra0'
(snip)
echo "
VOLUME_LABEL='$volume_label'
HEADPHONE_LABEL='$headphone_label'
WIFI_DRIVER='$wifi_driver'
WIFI_IFACE='$wifi_iface'
" > /etc/default/eee-acpi-scripts
-----------

This way, of course, you also automatically fix the issue of the alsa channels 
at install time. 


I'm currently reading the debian guidelines on how and when use debconf - so 
please have some care if you use my hacked .postinst file.



Cheers,
