Well, I guess no one is happy with either dumping unused configs into a nicely cleaned up folder, nor with having to make them as needed. How about a flag to change the behavior?

I have only a few config files. Every update to asterisk, I get a new batch of the full complement. Which means rm ./*  and restore from backup.

So I just wrapped the install routines with a use flag. I'll attach the diff.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clean up /etc/asterisk to remove unused config files
2. re-install


Actual Results:  
would be nice to have only those files I want in there, but all that cruft returns.

Expected Results:  
Just forget the new config files, which are basically the documentation for the options anyway.

yeah, so here's some of what happened with my patch:
--- !mtime   obj /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/asterisk.adsi
--- !mtime   obj /etc/asterisk/amd.conf
--- !mtime   obj /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/alarmreceiver.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/ais.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/agents.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/adtranvofr.conf
--- !found   obj /etc/asterisk/adsi.conf

IDK what is throwing that, but probably is not a problem. The build doesn't fail anyway. Diff to ebuild coming.

This behaviour will now cease if the samples USE-flag (which defaults to on) is unset. /etc/asterisk will not be touched any longer. This avoids adding new USE-flags, and also avoids the use of "no" USE-flags which has been discouraged for a long time.
Thank you for your bug report :)
