install asterisk-dahdi , asterisk-pgsql, asterisk-voicemail-imap and asterisk-ooh323 Actually: * asterisk-pgsql: not currently a separate subpackage in Debian. Not sure if it's worth the extra trouble. * asterisk-voicemail-imap: This is an ugly one: we create multiple copies of app_voicemail.c that get built with different options. It means that they conflict at run-time: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/asterisk/1:11.7.0~dfsg-1+e1/hack-multiple-app-voicemail * asterisk-ooh323: This is a separate package in Debian for historical reasons (addons packages were composed of a package for each component). It doesn't add annoying dependencies and thus hardly any point in keeing it in a separate package.
