I did *not* say such a thing (or even write one).

Debian has offers more than one or two HTTPDs. Hence it has to provide a
policy also on where packages place content to be served by those
HTTPDs.

I have just made a small typo there.

AstriskNow is not something you can install on top of you existing Extch
installation, as it is a complete distribution.

You probably refer to the asterisk-gui.

There is a work-in-progress package on pkg-voip for asterisk-gui through
I have other things to do. If anybody wants to pick it up, be my
guest...

However, try the package ari. As unmaintained as vmail.cgi, but at least
looks nicer.
