Summary:                    [patch] "make config" creates really wrong runlevels
in Debian (includes patch)
Description: 
When running "make config" under Debian, it creates wrong runlevels:

  /etc# ls -l rc*/*asterisk*
  rc2.d/K91asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc2.d/S50asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc3.d/K91asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc3.d/S50asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc4.d/K91asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc4.d/S50asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc5.d/K91asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk
  rc5.d/S50asterisk -> ../init.d/asterisk*

These runleves are really annoying and make no sense at all. Why are there
"K" entries in runleves 2, 3, 4 and 5?
"K" means "stop" action and the system never invoke
"/etc/init.d/SERVIC_NAME stop" in runleves 2, 3, 4 and 5. Instead, "stop"
action is just invoked in runleves 0 ("stop") and 6 ("reboot").
Also note that there is no "K" (stop) actions in runleves 0 and 6, so
asterisk is not terminated by the system when shuting down or rebooting.

For example, I show correct runlevels Kamailio creates when installing it
as Deb package:

  /etc# ls -l rc*/*kamailio*
  rc0.d/K23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc1.d/K23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc2.d/S23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc3.d/S23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc4.d/S23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc5.d/S23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio
  rc6.d/K23kamailio -> ../init.d/kamailio

This does make sense since "S" (start) actions exist for runlevels 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5 while "K" (stop) actions exist for 0 and 6.

In order to fix it I attach a patch for Asterisk Makefile (note that it's
based on Asterisk 1.4.26-rc4) which does the following:

- Creates "S" (start) actions in 1,2,3,4,5.
- Creates "K" (stop) actions in 0,6.
- The start actions have priority 50 (as now).
- The stop actions have priority 20. This is important in order Asterisk
to be shutdown before the system tries to shutdown dahdi, wanpipe and so
(in fact there is a bug with dahdi/wanpipe and the server crashes if dahdi
is shutdown before ending Asterisk).
