Not everyone uses VoiceTronix hardware; I have been told that the vpb channel

The attached patch sets some dh_shlibdeps options, to move the dependencies
of this one channel into 'Suggests'. Splitting it out into a separate package
seemed like overkill (c.f. #459244). It would be possible to bring it back
into 'Depends' or 'Recommends' when the module is stable.

The same method could be used to move more non-core asterisk dependencies into
'Recommends'. These would still be installed by default, but could be
removed by the administrator.
There is no way we're going to do that; I believe it is the wrong way and my gut tells me that it may also be a policy violation, but I haven't checked.

Splitting chan_vpb to a different package is something we can discuss though. We've done this before for chan_h323, it's only fair to consider it for chan_vpb.

Besides the obvious "bloat" of having libvpb installed, do you have any other issues with it?

Thanks,
Faidon
