Hi,

thanks for interest in working on this!

One of the biggest obstacles is the release schedules of Debian and
Xenomai projects, and I can't expect either of them to follow the
other. This implies that Debian typically includes an outdated version
of Xenomai in its stable version even though I include the respective
latest Xenomai release always immediately into Debian unstable.

In addition, kernels supported by official Xenomai patches also
typically differ from the ones that Debian ships.

Since Debian synchronizes quite well now with kernel.org stable
branches, there is at least a good chance to synchronize in this
second regard.
