Let's go back to basics for a moment - you say this is a Debian system - in my 
experience Debian already runs Asterisk as the "asterisk" user and not as 
root, so let's see what you have.

1. Start Asterisk (probably using "/etc/init.d/asterisk start", or maybe 
"service asterisk start")

2. Check who it's running as: "ps aux | grep asterisk"
