AFAIK it's /lib even on systems that use lib64. Also note that $(libdir) would 
probably become /usr/lib/<arch-triplet> on recent Debian and Ubuntu.

I think that the whole point here is to not rely on a PID file.

BTW: is anybody using Asterisk to directly start other programs that should 
out-live Asterisk? In this case, they should be removed of the cgroup, or 
revert to using the PID file (see the unit of sshd).

Two answers here:

1. I guess that the stock systemd answer would be: "run asterisk as the user 
asterisk. That way, the username and/or group name could be overiden in 
/etc/systemd/system/asterisk.service".

I remember we have some good reasons to let Asterisk drop privileges on its 
own. But let's try to reconsider them?

2. So, maybe we should have asterisk_wrapper (any better name?) that will

* Test for the requirements (perhaps as a subcommand for a Pre script?)
* Set up system-dependent setting
* Start asterisk a single time.
* Handle failures.

I also considered this previously because safe_asterisk makes it very simple to 
override the asterisk binary to a local live_ast copy by dropping a single file 
in /etc/asterisk/startup.d (with a single line that may, or may not, be 
remmed-out).
