Hi Matthias,

Thank you for your offer of assistance. However after hearing Jonas' reply and 
reviewing the commit history on salsa, I now realize that my attempt (and maybe 
yours) to build unstable Asterisk for Bookworm carries at least one subtle 
footgun:

#1024822 - fail2ban: misses asterisk logs using suffix .log since asterisk 19 - 
Debian Bug report logs

Bookworm's fail2ban doesn't have the fix for this, so what I thought was just a 
need to rebuild Asterisk might become a need to rebuild some unknown number of 
related packages, track my own bugs, and maintain my own patches.

More importantly, my effort and yours do not help Asterisk return to Debian 
testing or stable, perhaps it is less effort (and more appropriate for this 
mailing-list) to just do what is needed in that regard, and as a nice side 
effect everyone can use it.

I am not opinionated about Asterisk packaging. I actually find gbp clone 
salsa/asterisk and gbp buildpackage to be a reasonable method. The pristine-tar 
branch seems to be defined by the debian/watch file, so I suspect it updates 
nearly automatically.

I really would like to help, and just need a pointer on how to do it.

Martin
