Do you manually kill the asterisk process? If so: what happens with the
pid files and lock files?

Why would you want to "stop zaptel" exactly?

Zaptel is not some daemon like Asterisk. That init.d script
loads/unloads some kernel modules. Normally there should be no reason to
unload them.

Any chace Asterisk is actually still alive and prevents the kernel 
modules from cleanly shuting down?

The Debian init.d in the contrib directory is far from being robust
