Asterisk voice-prompt location in filesystem

Hello,

I think, I found an issue in the asterisk debian packages.

Last week I installed asterisk on a Debian/Squeeze system with these
asterisk voice-prompt sound packages:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/asterisk-sounds-main
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/asterisk-prompt-de

I recognized, that these two packages use different ways to store the
sound files in a directory structure.


http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/asterisk-sounds-main uses the newer
and in my opinion better way to store the soundfiles in a directory
structure like this.
It's also the way the sample config in asterisk-config package (
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/asterisk-config ) expects, I
think.

/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/<lang>/dictate
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/<lang>/digits
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/<lang>/letters
...
See: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/asterisk-sounds-main/filelist



http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/asterisk-prompt-de uses the older
way to store the soundfiles in a directory structure:

/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/dictate/<lang>
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/digits/<lang>
/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/letters/<lang>
...
See: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/asterisk-prompt-de/filelist



Both ways are supported by asterisk, but, as far as I know, only "either or".

It's no problem for me to correct the location of the sound files, but
I think it should also be corrected in the packages.
Other language packages may be affected of this issue, too, e.g.
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/asterisk-prompt-it

It'd be nice if you sent me a replay if it's an issue or not, and if
it'll be corrected.
I'd like to know this because I'm creating an automated install with FAI.


Best regards
Gabriel Uhlig
