What version of Asterisk is that, BTW? AFAIK the ubuntu package is an
older version of the current Debian package.

ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*asterisk

man update-rc.d

and will silently exit if you configured the service not to run or if
your system does not have the binary.

Anyway, maybe Asterisk has started but has failed to load?
