I'm migrating to Local/<number>@context right now (from Agent/ channels), and 
it seems to me that Local channels doesn't show (busy) in "show queues". This 
will probably require for me to do some overhead work for correctly 
displaying agent status in monitoring software, but i think i will be able to 
do it by combining "core show channels" with "show queues". 

I'm not sure is it related to Agent channels that could accept only one call 
or SIP channel status. I would expect queue to show even Local channel as 
busy if there is active call trough it. I think this really can't be 
accomplished by dialplan logics, as dialplan is not executed upon "show 
queues"
