Bug#694805: asterisk: please change Provides: asterisk-1.8 to Provides: asterisk-${source:Upstream-Version}

[Paul Wise]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.8.13.1~dfsg-1
Severity: important

Asterisk seems to have changed its plugin ABI without bumping the
Provides. As a result asterisk-espeak and the other external modules are
not able to be loaded, even though they were built against asterisk-dev
version 1:1.8.10.1~dfsg-1, which also provided asterisk-1.8.

http://bugs.debian.org/689109
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=asterisk-espeak&arch=i386&ver=2.1-1&stamp=1333714494

I would suggest changing Provides: asterisk-1.8 to something more
specific like Provides: asterisk-${source:Upstream-Version}. This will
ensure that future ABI breaks are handled properly since it is very hard
to ensure that plugin ABIs haven't changed.
