Yes, of course. Though they may consider that I did I bad
copy/adaptation of what have already bee doing. 
I am using Debian (now using Ubuntu due to hardware issues) for more
than 12 years and doing packages since 6 years (I make a package of
every piece of software I have to distribute locally), so I thing I may
help if I am asked

Yes, I suppressed nearly all of those patches, mainly because I did not
know if they were needed or may cause problems with lustre 1.8.0

It is OK. I mainly want  to help, at the same time that I keep the
control of a very important piece of software for us, so I can package
myself if needed and not having to depend of others work, which I, of
course, appreciate very much. No intention of substituting others.
