I'm in contact with the security team and we should have a DSA pretty
soon. The only question now is how to deal with the git repo. The jessie
branch
(https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-voip/asterisk.git/log/?h=jessie)
has unreleased changes that won't be eligible for security.

How should I deal with this?

- revert the patches in the jessie branch and put the security patches
  on top
- add a jessie-security branch
- force-push the jessie branch to an older commit

I think the last option would break everyones clone, so that's a no-go.
I'm leaning to option #1. Any opinion?
