[Bug 507007] [NEW] make dahdi a suggests or recommends

[Herb McNew]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: asterisk

The latest asterisk packages have dahdi as a dependency. As a result
things like build-essential are pulled in (for building the kernel
modules). In a great many cases build-essential isn't reasonable to have
on a production system. Further dahdi is only necessary for legacy PSTN
hardware, as such it need not be installed in an all-IP PBX environment.
It seems to me that dahdi is better suited as a suggests or recommends
rather than a strict dependency for asterisk.

** Affects: asterisk (Ubuntu)
