Quick and dirty: instead of trying to compile/build, just do this:

apt-get -t sarge install asterisk/unstable

Remember to have the appropriate entry for unstable into your
/etc/apt/sources.list

then go ahead with the configuration. I tried several times to compile *

installed * from the .deb files.

(but not even close to the apt-get install procedure...)
