    <p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
    <p dir="auto">@Chris, do you think you could make the necessary
      arrangements to have your version of Asterisk for Trixie pushed
      into Debian Testing? You are certainly in the best position, with
      the help of your team at Sangoma and other volunteers who have
      offered their assistance here and elsewhere, to make this a
      reality. This step would not only benefit the current user base
      but also demonstrate the commitment and capability of the
      community to maintain and promptly update the package,
      particularly in response to CVEs.</p>
    <p dir="auto">By including the Asterisk in Debian testing, we can
      showcase the active engagement of the user community, potentially
      facilitating its inclusion in trixie-backports initially, and
      finally in the next stable release of Debian. This would ensure
      that Debian users have access to up-to-date and secure Asterisk
      packages.</p>
    <p dir="auto">I fear that without progress on this matter, we may
      find with numerous Asterisk instances stuck on Debian Bullseye,
      which will no longer be maintained after August 2026 with the end
      of LTS. Additionally, there could be a proliferation of individual
      solutions to migrate to Trixie, involving local builds that are
      difficult to keep secure. Having up-to-date packages maintained in
      testing (and ideally in trixie-backports) would provide an
      "official" solution, demonstrating the desire to see the inclusion
      of Asterisk return to Debian Forky.</p>
    <p dir="auto">Thank you all!</p>
    <p dir="auto">Best regards,</p>
