Missing Sound!

Hey all, there's a sound file referenced in asterisk, that
has not yet
been created!

Specifically, it is vm-duration
is is referenced in apps/app_voicemail.c, in function
play_message_duration() 
and is reported in bug 8993 by caio1982.

Kevin Fleming did some research and says:

The length of a voicemail in seconds is divided by 60, and
the resulting
number played just after the vm-duration file is played.
Then
"vm-minutes" is played.

caio1982 suggests that "this message is longer
than" be the wording for
this...
I personally lean toward "this message is at
least" ... but, who am I?

So, any votes or further suggestions as to what to put in
this file?

"This message is longer than 5 minutes" sounds
wrong, as does "This
message is at least 5 minutes".  Both are technically
true for messages 
that are 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 2 hours long.  "This
message lasts 5
minutes" sounds better, given that it's giving an exact
duration, but
I'm not married to the phrasing.

While we're recording messages, I need "Press 9 for
more entries" for
a Directory modification I'm working on.

That implies some sort of rounding to the nearest minute was
done.

Would it be excessive to have the playback go as follows
   "this message is"
   say (seconds/60)
   if ((seconds/60) == 1)  "minute"
   else "minutes"
   if (seconds%60) {
      say (seconds%60)
      if ((seconds%60) == 1)  "second"
      else "seconds"
   }
   "long"
