I added the universe repository and looked at the list of Asterisk packages.
I can't tell what version of Asterisk is in the package. The one I want to
compile is the stable 1.2 rather than the newest 1.4.

I did "sudo aptitude install linux-source" and it looked like it worked
fine. I again attempted to 'make' zaptel. I got the error "You do not appear
to have the sources for the 2.6.15-28-amd64-generic kernal installed."
