Done: new ("menardi") now in experimental:

  http://packages.debian.org/src:asterisk-prompt-it

Upgrading from Squeeze (or from current Wheezy) 20060510-3 should still
work - the dummy package asterisk-prompt-it will pull the right one.

In case someone has already installed asterisk-promt-it-menadri:
The "menadri" and "menardi" variants are co-installable. I gave a
slightly higher priority to the alternatives of the newer "menadri"
package, but the user will have to know of the new name. I hope it will
not exist for long and thus no special handling for that case will be
needed.
