Bug#492329: asterisk: Move chan_vpb.so dependencies to 'Suggests'

[Tim Retout]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.4.20~dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Not everyone uses VoiceTronix hardware; I have been told that the vpb channel
is still unstable, and would prefer not to install libvpb.

The attached patch sets some dh_shlibdeps options, to move the dependencies
of this one channel into 'Suggests'. Splitting it out into a separate package
seemed like overkill (c.f. #459244). It would be possible to bring it back
into 'Depends' or 'Recommends' when the module is stable.

The same method could be used to move more non-core asterisk dependencies into
'Recommends'. These would still be installed by default, but could be
removed by the administrator.

(I did have one issue where symbol versioning caused libstdc++6 to be
repeated in Suggests, but that does not seem to happen with asterisk from
pkg-voip svn.)
