Bug#606534: Subject: install fail asterisk 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1 Debian unstable. insserv: Service zaptel has to be enabled to start service asterisk

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1
and: 1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
My patch is included below.

*** This was my first time that I tried to submit a bug. I got it wrong. I
do not use email a lot either.
I have had a sole email, an automated reply sitting in my inbox since my
submission back in 05th October 2009.
I have resubmitted this bug and patch to include the detail I had gleaned,
in case it helps someone.
I am learning how the bug reports system works, allbeit slowly. sorry for my
delay.
I am unsure whether to send to submit@bugs.debian.org or attach to
552604@bugs.debian.org
I will soon see from the effect. I know that both is wrong. I am learning.
Sorry for any inconvieniance.

An error occurred The following details are provided:
E: asterisk: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error
exit status 1

Setting up asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1) ...
insserv: Service zaptel has to be enabled to start service asterisk
insserv: exiting now!

The configuration script is throwing a zaptel missing dependency. but zaptel
is no more. I believe It should be Recommends: dahdi OR dahdi-linux.

The changelog shows:-

Debian Changelog asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1)
2009 asterisk (1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~beta3-1) unstable; urgency=low [ F L ]
* New upstream release.
* Remove init script's "zaptel-fix" action; there's no zaptel any more and
was also lintian-buggy in its current form.
* Install Zaptel-to-DAHDI.txt, explains the migration procedure from Zaptel
to DAHDI and is therefore useful when upgrading from lenny.

MY PATCH:
I altered a line in file: /etc/init.d/astersisk
From: # Required-Start: $local_fs zaptel
To: # Required-Start: $local_fs dahdi dahdi-linux
Then,
# dpkg --configure --force-all asterisk

# dpkg --status asterisk
Package: asterisk
Status: install ok installed <<==
There is more detailed information in my previous work on this issue at :

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have identified this potential bug is
also in asterisk 1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 .
However I am having many other separate problems which I am diligently but
ploddingly resolving.
This stops me from testing asterisk quick enough to my satisfaction, to get
this potential bug processed.
My concern with my patch is, should I specify just one module; dahdi or
dahdi-linux ? although specifying both does install asterisk with dahdi ok.
but no sign in the dependancies shown below, of dahdi-linux. It depends on
what you actually want.
My next job is to strip out all the 96 sample configurations somehow, to
make asterisk 1.6 useable for a newbie with starter books such as my book,"
Asterisk,the future of telephony." or the book to be published in January
2010 "Practical Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6: From Beginner to Expert" to allow me
to operate asterisk further, and to test for the effectiveness of my patch.
