Bug#399807: asterisk: please let users configure a basic home asterisk setup in debconf

[Jason Spiro]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.2.13~dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: usability

It would be great if debconf could set up a simple voicemail-only
setup or some other useful setup for home users automatically. If
debconf can set up a basic exim4 config for you, it is surely possible
to make it set up a basic asterisk config too. :-)

The voicemail-only setup could be as follows: Asterisk could pick up
on all devices after a specified number of seconds of ringing, play a
default greeting, record a voicemail, and send a copy to the email
address of your choice.

If you want to get fancy, debconf could also allow the user to listen
to existing voicemails by pressing the * key then entering a PIN
number chosen in debconf.
