Nothing has changed since my older responses in this bugreport, so
please read my other posts here and ask more specifically if there is
something you don't find covered there already.

Yes, there are bugs filed against Asterisk.  Please go examine which of
those bugs you consider affecting your use of Asterisk.

As also reflected by my older resonses in this bugreport, the goal is to
maintain Asterisk packages in Debian, but having that goal is not
adequate exactly due to lack of man power: I have enough time to keep
Asterisk afloat for unstable, but lack the time to care for stable
releases of Debian.

Whether you find the current level of care for Asterisk in Debian
superior or inferior to whatever support you can achieve elsewhere is
something I cannot really answer.  You do not *need* to go elsewhere, if
that is really what you are asking here.

Kind regards, and thanks for your interest in Debian and Asterisk,

 - Jonas
