What I've got so far:

asterisk-adsi
asterisk-ael
asterisk-app-alarmreceiver
asterisk-app-amd
asterisk-app-core
 - here is included everything related to basic functionality, like:

asterisk-app-festival
asterisk-app-followme
asterisk-app-meetme
asterisk-app-privacy
asterisk-app-queue
asterisk-app-voicemail
asterisk-cdr-custom
asterisk-cdr-manager
asterisk-cdr-misc
asterisk-cdr-tds
asterisk-chan-alsa
asterisk-chan-gtalk
asterisk-chan-h323
asterisk-chan-iax
asterisk-chan-mgcp
asterisk-chan-oss
asterisk-chan-phone
asterisk-chan-sip
asterisk-chan-skinny
asterisk-chan-zap
asterisk-codecs
- here goes every codec supported by
asterisk-conf-core
- here goes basic configuration files, like:
etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
etc/asterisk/cdr.conf
etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
etc/asterisk/features.conf
etc/asterisk/indications.conf
etc/asterisk/logger.conf
etc/asterisk/manager.conf
etc/asterisk/modules.conf
etc/asterisk/rtp.conf
etc/asterisk/say.conf
etc/asterisk/udptl.conf
etc/asterisk/users.conf

asterisk-conf-crap
- unused config files (there is no corresponed modules
in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ by default):
etc/asterisk/sla.conf
etc/asterisk/vpb.conf
etc/asterisk/rpt.conf
etc/asterisk/osp.conf
etc/asterisk/dnsmgr.conf

asterisk-conf-misc
asterisk-core
- every module needed to make asterisk running
asterisk-func-core
asterisk-func-enum
- special functions with config files
asterisk-func-moh
asterisk-odbc
asterisk-pbx-core
asterisk-pbx-dundi
asterisk-pgsql
asterisk-res-core
asterisk-res-jabber
asterisk-res-monitor
asterisk-res-smdi
asterisk-res-snmp
asterisk-sounds-main
asterisk-web-vmail

So, it is way less than 164, only 48 so far.

The general idea - every extra functionality goes to it own package,
especially modules with it own config files, 
so I will be able to select via aptitude what exactly my asterisk is
intended for.

Just for example, I've never used mgcp, dundi, enum, jabber, snmp,
smdi, odbc, sqlite, tds, chan_phone, chan_skinny, adsi, alarmreceiver,
and definitly will never do. So what is the reason to keep loading
unused modules into a production system ? Some of them spin out their
own threads, some of them wants me to configure it.

And I'd like to keep an asterisk installation lean and mean, with only
functionality I've selected - so right now I'm forced to delete unused
stuff, after each setup.

And yes, here is yet another reason to separate, at least all stuff
depended on externals, like pgsql, mysql, etc.
