I think that was tried, just not sure what the outcome was.

U* is one question, the other one is how RedHat is supporting Ceph and how
their upgrade path looks. Although they are a bit more flexible I guess as
they have their own ceph repositories and support ceph over different
releases.
Maybe Debian (finally) needs to add support for per-package repositories,
too. Ceph is not the only part of Debian where something like that would make
sense, although that discussion is not for this list.
