I tried to use python-asterisk to connect to my Asterisk server, after recently
upgrading to Squeeze, and it failed to connect, raising an exception about
"Server banner was incorrect."

Turns out, the expected banner is hardcoded as "Asterisk Call Manager/1.0", and
Asterisk is now advertising itself as "Asterisk Call Manager/1.1"

A naive change to the hardcoded string expected fixes this, but I'm not sure if
there are other compatibility issues beyond that.

Given I'm having this issue with Asterisk 1:1.6.2.9-2+squeeze3 in stable, it
most probably is also applicable to 1:1.8.7.1~dfsg-2 in unstable
