Bug#363924: asterisk-classic: problem with $PARAMS in /etc/default/asterisk

[Jonathan Addleman]

Package: asterisk-classic
Version: 1:1.2.4.dfsg-7
Severity: important

If I add in a simple line like "$PARAMS="-v" in /etc/defaults/asterisk,
/etc/init.d/asterisk start then does not detach at all. This is a big
problem on reboots! I just get all the debug information (depending on
how many -v's I enter in $PARAMS) and then basically everything hangs.
