The key does not have to be there for you to trust it (anybody can
upload a key there). Though having it there (and having it signed by
more people) would naturally help.

Another issue: the package name is different 'asterisk-1.8' vs.
'asterisk'.

It has:

  Package: asterisk-1.8
  Provides: asterisk
  Conflicts: asterisk (<<1.8.0)

Whereas other packages are named 'asterisk-*' (asterisk-h323,
asterisk-dahdi, etc.). So it deviates from the Debian naming convention.
And would still not allow co-install with a future asterisk-1.10
package.
