I forgot to mention: update-alternatives does not work as planned:

after:

  dpkg --install asterisk-prompt-fr-armelle_20070613-3_all.deb
  dpkg --install asterisk-prompt-fr-proformatique_20070706-1.4-4_all.deb
  dpkg --purge   asterisk-prompt-fr-proformatique

the link /etc/alternatives/asterisk-sounds-fr remains a dandling link
to /usr/share/asterisk/sounds/fr_FR_Proformatique . I have to manually
run:

  update-alternatives --auto

to fix that.

Any idea what I missed?
