I've installed asterisk from the debian repo, but, despite changing 
`astdatadir` in asterisk.conf, it insists on using `/usr/share/asterisk` 
instead of `/var/lib/asterisk`, which creates user permission problems since 
it's running as the user `asterisk`. The Record() application instantly fails 
due to permissions problems.

Instead of giving the asterisk user read / write permissions for 
/usr/share/asterisk, I was trying to change it to /var/lib/asterisk/, but it 
continuously ignores my changes.

Is this a Debian issue or am I changing the wrong thing in asterisk.conf? (I 
normally compile from source, which uses /var/lib/asterisk by default. First 
time using a repo package)

Asterisk version: 13.14.1~dfsg-2+deb9u4
OS: Debian 9.8 (stretch). Fully updated.
