*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Consider removing asterisk from Ubuntu release but leave in -proposed.

This would basically match what has been done in Debian 12 and 13 at the
request of the Debian Security Team. See the attached Debian bug. It
doesn't feel like Ubuntu Security is managing asterisk better than that.

If Archive Admins agree, they could keep this bug open as the block-
proposed bug.

Analysis
========
I don't think this _requires_ any other removals. In Debian, asterisk-espeak is not available in testing either.
