The two alternatives to that are:

* Not upload DAHDI at all for now
* Upload it to experimental

Because the action it does is incompatible. libtonezone1 will only work
with Zaptel and libtonezone2.0 will only work with DAHDI. If you run
Asterisk 1.4.21 (the one in Lenny and Sid) with libtonezone2.0 it will
fail at run time.
