Or why not create all sound files under /usr/share/asterisk/sounds and

/usr/share/asterisk/sounds/custom ?

Short answer is because we live by rules.
Any good linux distro follows standards regarding the proper location of
files. /usr/local /opt and /var/lib would be more appropriate for
locally added sounds.
This is good reading for people new to linux. Maybe you always wondered
why there is a /bin, /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin? This will enlighten you:

And if you have several systems?
Besides I found that using packages with asterisk on debian can do odd
things to your custom sound files if you do a remove.
Regarding the sounds files: I don't think that the way Asterisk
installer handles them is very optimal either.
Your message got me thinking, though. I believe that Debian is right
installing all sounds to /usr/share/asterisk/sounds . But
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds (/usr/local/asterisk/sounds? ) should still be
kept for custom sounds that are never touched by the package.
I figure that file.c:build_filename could be changed to do the
following:
if exists /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/<filename>
return /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/<filename>
else if exists /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/<filename>
return /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/<filename>
What do you think? I figure I'll try to push this into Debian first.
(If this is indeed a good idea)
