Hi Asheesh,

I've rebuilt packages for the latest release (0.19.1).  The .dsc is at

 http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph/ceph_0.19.1-1.dsc

I've also futzed around with my scripts for building .debs for the 
ceph.newdream.net repository (now using pbuilder, reprepro).  I suspect 
I'm not quite doing the right thing wrt package versions for the different 
distributions (I'm appending something like ~bpo50+1 for lenny .deb, 
etc.), but for now at least it works well enough for the separate 
repository.  And I'm not sure it's that important from the perspective of 
getting the packages in sid anyway.

There is also a ceph-kclient package with the source code for the kernel 
module:

 http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph-kclient/ceph-kclient_0.19.1-1.dsc

As I understand it there is some make-kpkg magic that is supposed to build 
it automagically (if it's properly packaged) but I haven't found any good 
documentation on how that should be done for standalone modules.

Thanks!
