I find myself wondering whether you read the steps I wrote in my original email
to explain what I am already doing:

- apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essentials
- apt-get source asterisk
- apt build-dep asterisk
- dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us

Note the "apt-get source asterisk".

The whole point here is that the Asterisk developers require me to run a
version of Asterisk with debugging and symbols enabled so that I can even
demonstrate that there is a bug.

Until I've done that, nobody's going to investigate or fix anything.
