If the stable and trunk versions are relatively close, then...
  mv /usr/lib/asterisk/modules /usr/lib/asterisk/modules-stable
  mv /usr/lib/asterisk/modules-trunk /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
and restart asterisk.

Lots of assumptions in the above including zaptel, libpri, and any 
addons are compatible with both trunk and stable, etc.
