[Pkg-lustre-maintainers] Bug#651795: Debian support for non-standard kernels

[Christopher Huhn]

Hi all,

because of this bug lustre-source has been removed from Wheezy. From my 
point of view that's a pity.

I wonder if there's a general Debian policy that regulates that kernel 
module sources and kernel patches are not suitable for a release if they 
are not applicable to the default release kernel.

What's the point of rolling your own kernel then?
Is there a list of kernel versions that a certain Debian release is 
compatible with (e.g. is 2.6.32 too old for Wheezy?).

Lustre may not build on > 3.1 but having the Lustre sources debianized 
and in the Debian release still eases building and deployment of lustre 
on Debian a lot. And it prevents duplication of work done by everyone 
who wants to run Lustre on Debian.

Cheers,
	Christo
