Files in
/etc/asterisklooks like they are generally shipped by theasterisk-configpackage. So it is this package you need to purge. Your autoremove did remove this package, but did not purge it.sudo apt-get --purge autoremovewould have done it, but now that it is removed,dpkg -P asterisk-configis necessary.There may be other files that you need to purge, too. The key is to identify which package ships the files you removed, and to purge and reinstall those packages.
The command
debsums -ec(install thedebsumspackage first) will tell you which conffiles have been removed and which packages supplied them, so this can tell you what you need to purge and reinstall. Alternatively, for any file, run the commanddpkg -S fileto tell you which package supplied it.
