Dominic,

There is no problem to add. There is problem to maintain. Asterisk needs over 
40 additional packages. Official distribution should be tested, but as for now 
there is not many users interested with Asterisk on DL. So my private tests 
needs from one to two months after Heiko/Serge/Bruce work is finished. I'm 
running with Asterisk on DL because of security philosophy: for new versions 
there is small number of exploits. Additionally: R/O OS is not so vulnerable 
for attacks. But attackers trying to log into my Voip server i.e. using brute 
force dozens everyday. But this is not popular philosophy and there is many 
dedicated Asterisk distributions. So probably connecting Asterisk to main line 
of DL is premature, as for now.

But You can use Asterisk on DL in my way, compiling it from my scripts. And, 
if You prefer, it is possible to use my compilation. I can give You link to 
images on my servers. ISO image is 700MB long but squash image is only 500MB 
long. I have free g729 codecs included too, but this is not legal in US. Now 
I'm using on my production VoIP server Asterisk 1.8.8.1. On this machine (on 
PC platform) is working about 200 users generating about 500 calls everyday. 
And VoIP traffic is growing. Remember, please: Asterisk in not working under 
grsecurity hardened kernel.

You can be First Independent Tester ;-)

So...?
