This is incorrect:

| Package: asterisk-mysql
| Depends: […] libc6 (>= 2.4), […]

| $ apt-cache policy asterisk-mysql | grep wheezy
|         500 http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates/main amd64 Packages
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages

libc6 is _not_ shipped in the security archive:

| $ apt-cache policy libc6 | grep wheezy
|         500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
