well, that's what Tzafrir has told me. I haven't yet tried it, but
according to his promises, it's only a matter of enabling the two
bristuff patches in debian/patches/00list.
After that you should be ready to go:

apt-get build-dep asterisk
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -B -rfakeroot

Well, the patches are readily included and dpatch is a very nice toy to
have options like this at your fingertips. We still need to find either
a way to split the building into a bristuffed and non-bristuffed
internal target or use DEB_COMPILE_FLAGS or alike so that people can
easily opt-in bristuff patches for the rebuild. Having double sources
and double binary packs is not an option I'd favour as this duplicates
all problems and all time consumption to fix problems.

So, what I would like to do is see where bristuff compilation causes new
objects to pop up and then to backup only these for the later reusal in
the binary/install target stuffing them into the same deb or maybe in
some asterisk-bristuff and asterisk package to provide both a diversion
to asterisk.
