Gee, it shows you're not on the bristuff list. Up-to-date bristuff
patch for Asterisk:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/asterisk/trunk/debian/patches/bristuff.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

BTW: the one for Zaptel:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/zaptel/trunk/debian/patches/bristuff.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

Ask Kapejod.

bristuff has many changes to the ISDN stack. Some may disapprove of
them. It is considered as better in many accounts.

The chan_capi included in bristuff is probably not as good as
chan_capi-cm from sourceforge. In Debian we simply delete all the capi
modules from the bristuff version.

There are also a number of nice small applications, and a bunch of fixes
(e.g: related to snom phones).
