[Debian-ha-maintainers] drbd in linux-2.6

[dann frazier]

drbd maintainers,

As you no doubt know, linux-modules-extra has been dropped for
squeeze. The recommended[1] direction for building out-of-tree module
is to either:

 a) get merged into linux-2.6
 b) use the dkms framework

DRBD is now merged upstream, so it seems like a good candidate for
option a. Do the drbd8 maintainers know of any issue with that
(userspace tool compatability, etc)? Are you ok with dropping the
drbd8-source binary package if we include this in linux-2.6?

I've backported the latest upstream DRBD bits into our kernel targeted
at squeeze:

I'd appreciate it if an existing drbd user could test it.
