asterisk-config is running asterisk_fix from package asterisk.

[Diego Iastrubni]

Just for anyone who fails to understand the "asterisk_fix" hack we did, I will 
try to explain it briefly:

We found that there are several package which need to make the initial setups 
on the systems (asterisk, asterisk-config, asterisk-config-freepbx... etc). 
The way it was done before, was having the same code in every package that 
had to mess with asterisk, sometimes by copying code from one postinst script 
to another. 

The solution we found, is having this code inside a special script, and every 
postinst package would call it (if it exists). This script is part of the 
package asterisk. This means that the main package (asterisk) is no longer a 
virtual package and does provide some "code" (the init scripts, the default 
config, see the code for more details). 

The asterisk_fix script creates the asterisk user and group, and chmods all 
the needed directories. The script has been coded in such way that 
(hopefully) it will not mess a system by being run twice in a row. In 
practice, it will be run several time (asterisk-config.postinst and then 
asterisk.postinst). 

There are some problems with this code, but they will be fixed soon, 
hopefully... anyway, if anyone knows a better solution, please shout.
