Thanks for that.

Note, however, that if iLBC is in non-free and asterisk uses that,
asterisk would have to go in contrib. And that's totally unacceptable,
sorry.

We can, however, have a separate source package in contrib that provides
just an asterisk-codec-ilbc package (that asterisk isn't depending upon
it) but that will bring us the ABI hell we've been experiencing with
various third-party packages.
