Because asterisk maintainers apparantly aren't interesting in making 
sure stable and secure packages reach testing as this is already taking 
months and even before the release these packages were more than once in 
a very bad shape, I thought they wouldn't mind... I guess I was wrong, 
though I can still be convinced to remove all their packages from 
testing if I was right after all...

Ok, purged removal hints for these two for now...

Please, pretty please can someone preferably more than one take care of 
the VOIP packages appropriately so removals of testing and release team 
wasting time on them is not necessary anymore, TIA!
