We are working on it..

pkg-voip-maintainers is happy to sponsor packages & libraries towards that 
goal..

If you are keen, please feel free to join us in pkg-voip-maintainers, you just 
need to setup an account on http://alioth.debian.org and we can provide you 
commit access..

Have a look at our README for how we do business:

A couple of comments:

RED = not in debian
portaudio_v19 hasn't been released upstream and the API keeps on changing...  
That said we are doing some work and should release v19 into debian shortly:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/portaudio19/

taxidermy:  Can you provide a URL. Couldn't find a RFP.

pacpp: No RFP.  Looks interesting..  URL 

utilspp. No RFP. Is that part of http://rrette.com/curlpp.html?

libeXosip2: Uploaded to NEW.

libiax2: is packaged as libiaxclient-dev although there is some discussion 
about a couple of forks.

ortp: No RFP.  Looks interesting, used in linphone, but useful for others. 
http://linphone.org/ortp/

lpc10. No RFP.  Is there an upstream URL for just the library, or is it just 
embeded into things like openh323/ opal, et al?

dissipate2.  Is this only used in kphone? and maybe kcall, which just uses 
kphone??

libgsm. Is packaged in debian as libgsm1-dev

opal. Is being packaged by p-v-m as the replacement to openh323
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/opal/

ilbc. We have had lots of discussion on this. Check the pkg-voip-maintainers 
archive.  Basically it is non-free and we need to stop shipping it in kphone, 
asterisk, openh323 and opal.  iaxclient is already built without it..  
Perhaps we could package as a separate library in non-free...
