I had to download and build the ones from Digium

Should not error out even if people don't have the hardware or drivers - should provide a message
telling them they need to get the drivers a different way. (where is the dahdi_genconf script and
does it build the kernel modules? )
It appeared by the package names that the drivers were installed by debain
$ wajig list dahdi
ii asterisk-dahdi 1:1.8.13.1~dfsg-3 amd64 DAHDI
devices support for the Asterisk PBX
ii dahdi 1:2.5.0.1-2 amd64 utilities
for using the DAHDI kernel modules
ii dahdi-firmware-nonfree 2.6.1-1 all DAHDI
non-free firmware
ii dahdi-linux 1:2.6.1+dfsg2-1 all DAHDI
telephony interface - Linux userspace parts
ii dahdi-source 1:2.6.1+dfsg2-1 all DAHDI
telephony interface - source code for kernel driver
But I had to download dahdi-linux-current.tar.gz from digum and build by hand
( http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/ )
module-assisant no longer builds these kernel modules - has a broken zaptel entry - see: ( now very
old bug ) 641857
Some sort of message on install - and one should not get a error code if the package actually
installs.. Lots of users will need bread-crumbs if they have to build the modules.
