I am known to always stick with the package management tools. And (re)build
packages if I have to. Installation takes longer the firs time.
Maintinance is much easier in the long run.

You can build your own packages and put them in your local repository
for your local installation. 

I'm not aware of anybody building packages of Asterisk's cvs HEAD . The
Debian packages are from the stable branch. I figure you could adapt
them and use cvs-buildpackage if you're on Debian to automate building
from HEAD.
