You probably meant /usr/sbin, where it should have been named something
of the sort of update_asterisk. But I don't like this.

Originally Diego (or was it me?) put it in /usr/sbin. I built a package
and got the standard "program with no man page" warning from lintian.

I started writing a man page, but then realised that it is not a program
that a user should run a care about. When I write 'asteris<tab><tab>' in
the shell, I really don't need to be bothered with the irrelevant (and
potentially harmful) asterisk_fix.
