Sure. I think maybe this is turning into some sort of comic loop. The
understanding on the DSA side, as far as I'm aware, is that the VOIP
setup on cilea is still a bit fragile and not ready for wider
deployment. If that's not the case, letting us know that it's ready for
widespread adoption would be a good start. If it is the case, I think
we're expecting the people interested in VOIP for debian to make it
ready for prime time before anything else happens. If you/fil/whoever
else is involved have a different deployment strategy, I think we'd like
to hear about it.

I don't think we want to use regular LDAP bind, if we can help it.
For some other things, we've introduced <service>Password (we have a sudo
password field and so on). Is it possible to do a similar thing for VOIP?

We have hosting in several places. Depending on how much resource these
servers need and how difficult the deployment is, I can't imagine it
should be an impossible problem.
