This is the cause of the problem. [global] is Asterisk 1.2. In 1.4 and
onwards this section is called [directories] .

While updating the packaging for 1.6.1 (now in Unstable), I removed our
separate hardcoded copy of asterisk.conf that included this incorrect
settings.

Workaround: 

  sed -i -e 's/^\[global\]/[directories]/' /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf

Anyway, thanks for the report.
