asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Asterisk Auto-Startup on Ubuntu/Debian

I'm having trouble getting asterisk to run at startup using Ubuntu. 
I've checked, and the asterisk dameon is set to run at init 5.  However,
I'm not seeing anything that says that asterisk has been started during
the boot process.  Oddly, when I shut the machine down/run init6, it
says Starting Asterisk PBX.  Odd.  I'm using the default scripts that
came with asterisk (I installed using synaptic and the debian universe
repositories).  I've edited /etc/default/asterisk, uncommented the first
line and changed start asterisk to "yes".  Anybody know what might be
wrong?

Try starting atserisk at run level 2 or 3 (debian/ubuntu does this a
little differently)

By default, synaptic puts init scripts in all runlevel folders.  All are
exactly the same, except for init 6, which is supposed to kill the
process.

What version of Asterisk is that, BTW? AFAIK the ubuntu package is an
older version of the current Debian package.

ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*asterisk

man update-rc.d

But generally the package's init script is automatically being added,
and will silently exit if you configured the service not to run or if
your system does not have the binary.

Anyway, maybe Asterisk has started but has failed to load?
