I've had a look at the first list. AFAIK, only the following packages
require an update:

- mstflint: 4.1.0-1.46.gb1cdaf7 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/mstflint/
- perftest: 3.0-0.16.gb2f2e82 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/perftest/
- infiniband-diags: 1.6.6 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/management/
- ibacm: ibacm-1.1.0 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/rdmacm/
- srptools: 1.0.3 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/srptools/
- libibverbs: 1.2.0-rc1 from https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/verbs/

I intend to work on getting those packages updated in Debian. Besides, are
you familiar with Debian packaging? And if so, would you like to get involved
too?

Is that accurate? In particular, I didn't find new upstream versions for:
opensm, rdmacm, ibumad and ibmad.

Progressively, Roland's packages which are related to OFED are brought
under the umbrella of this team team (pkg-ofed). This has been done for
libxml4 for example and could be done, when needed, for other packages
as well.

HTH,
