This should be resolved with the Unstable version of libpri. Compare:

  http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libpri-dev/i386/filelist
  http://packages.debian.org/sid/libpri-dev/i386/filelist

Note the extra "bristuffed" files.

However you will then notice that the 1.4 bristuff libpri is
incompatible with the Asterisk 1.2 bristuffed Asterisk . 

So I guess that this issue will only be resolved once Asterisk 1.4
migrates to Lenny .

libpri1.0 is libpri ver. 1.4.

Hmm... I hope that this will be removed soon for other reasons.

For the record, the imap voicemail feature of Asterisk requires
libc-client 2004/2006 . The plain "libc-client" in Debian (even in Sid) is
2002.
