But does asterisk run as root (I hope not)?  If not, then surely no intros
can be written to this directory, so policy isn't actually being violated --
it's just a feature that's unavailable to users of the package?

If there is a reason this bug needs to be treated as an RC FHS violation,
then an upload to testing-proposed-updates will be needed, because unstable
has a new upstream version of asterisk.
