The whole point of the main/universe archive split is to differentiate
packages that the Ubuntu security team commits to keeping updated with
security patches, and packages that get no security support, except for
community volunteers, and possibly commercial support from ESM.

As asterisk is in universe, there is no commitment to keep it secure,
much like the rest of the roughly 35 000 packages in universe.

From the security team's point of view, it is in the unsupported
universe archive where it belongs, provided by convenience to our users
with no guarantee of timely security updates.
