Debian packages are designed for "least surprise".  By the time a package has 
made it to "Stable" it is pretty thoroughly tested, but may be out of date.

My best suggestion?  Uninstall and purge any Debian packages you installed  
(backup needed config files first .....)  and just install Dahdi and Asterisk 
from the Source Code.
