Allow asterisk to build on bookworm without bookwork-backports (systemd-dev dependency)

Hi Jonas,

Thank you for your thorough response.

I have read https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031046 there you state:

Will this help get asterisk back into testing and eventually stable? Is this still what needs to happen?
