There should not be any duplicates.  If the prompt is used directly in 
the Asterisk code, we should leave it in the main sounds package.  If 
not, it should be removed and kept in extras instead.

While it makes sense to have _all_ of the sounds in the main package for 
each language we distribute, it does not make sense to have the same 
requirement for the extra sounds.  As you have pointed out, this package 
includes prompts intended for comedic purposes only, and do not need to 
be translated.
