The problem is I was trying to use a custom modules.conf - that was produced with the non debian 
bootstrap.sh - which I had already run.

Once I found that there were prebuilt debs at:

deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian/ wheezy main

I changed directions. There are a few minor issues in the deb packages:

- base_dir was wrong (missing? ) - easy fix

- The tetris was in the wrong place.

- I had to install several other packages besides what the meta packages pulled in

-  I can't figure out which package has FreeTDM ( I think I need that for a Digium, Inc. Wildcard 
AEX410 4-port analog card (PCI-Express) I want to support ).


I've been putting my notes on doing this the Debian way together here:

There are probably too many packages (280 ) and the meta packages aren't right, but I very happy 
that someone is trying to get this in shape to put in Debian ( it is work - but worth doing for 
security reasons if nothing else.  Also, once in the Debian archive, it will feed in to ALL the 
other debian based distributions - greatly expanding the number and quality of contributors)

So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no
alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people
that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free
enterprise system.
