A Build-Depends on the linux-source or linux-tree will be
there. Lustre already comes as patch set to the kernel so there is 0
reason to fork/copy the linux source.
I believe security updates should also be less of a problem than
actual kernel updates. They don't tend to mess around with the
VFS/etx3 code overly much. But as I mentioned, now we are two people
needing this for work so there should always be someone available.
I guess we can build an image and see how well this works out till
etch+1 comes out. I'm not sure if I want this in etch/stable. Having
it in unstbale for the time being would be fine with me.
