The one thing I don't like about it as-is is the empty asterisk-sqlite
package . The issue with res_sqlite3 is not going to be resolved any
time soon. I would prefer asterisk-sqlite to be a subpackage of asterisk
(with the sqlite and/or sqlite3 modules from there) if at all.

There are also some other packages I would rather split off the main
Asterisk package: postgresql and odbc. I believe almost all of
Asterisk's users don't need those as extra dependencies.
