Bug#330983: asterisk: Building chan_zap.so (and five other modules) requires zaptel.h at the wrong place

Fails To Build From Sources. I guess it's a policy violation.

I have been told the package was uploaded by the maintainer, not build
on the Debian buildds. Which would also explain the bug report.

This is not for the i386 architecture. I admit that this build log looks
fine for alpha but cannot verify it (there's only i386 and hppa here).

Indeed. But that archive is not unpacked for the build process and
that's not even necessary as zaptel-source places that file in
/usr/include/linux.

Everything from the Debian sarge sources, that's

ii  zaptel-source    1.0.7-4.1        Zapata telephony interface (source code for kern

In other words: To verify I've started with a fresh sarge installation
today and built asterisk again.

As a result:
~/src/asterisk-1.0.7.dfsg.1$ find debian/asterisk/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ -name '*.so' | wc -l
114

while on a installed system:

$ dpkg -L asterisk | grep -c '\.so$'
120

The six missing modules are

app_flash.so
app_meetme.so
app_zapbarge.so
app_zapras.so
app_zapscan.so
chan_zap.so
