Bug#462270: asterisk: agi-bin directory is intended for local scripts, and should be under /var

[Tim Retout]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.4.17~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

The default /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf contains:

    astagidir => /usr/share/asterisk/agi-bin

The upstream default is /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin - this directory can
potentially contain locally created scripts (or binaries) to control
dialplans, and should be under /var so that the administrator is free to
drop executables in there.

[asterisk-app-fax has changed its behaviour to install a script at
/usr/share/asterisk/agi-bin/receive_fax (see #394051) - it should probably
either undo that move, or install a symlink into /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin.]
