safe_asterisk is buggy. Period. There's a limit to how much we can fix
it.

As for LSB-compliance: this is true indeed for the packages in Etch.
Fixed later. And anyway, in Etch Debian has not supported service
dependencies. In Lenny it will.

That said, if you use the packages zaptel and asterisk, zaptel will
start before asterisk.
