Ok. I've uploaded it to mentors.debian.net [0] - if anyone on the
list would be prepared to sponsor it, that would be great. This is the
first package I've prepared for backports, so please let me know if
doesn't look right or there's more I should have done.

I don't have a wheezy system to hand running a backported kernel, but
I've installed the appropriate headers in a chroot and checked that
openafs-modules-source builds correctly. I've therefore marked the bug
as closed in the changelog.
Many thanks,
