  Description     : a reference implementation of the Grid Datafarm
The Gfarm filesystem is a distributed filesystem consisting of the
local storage of commodity PCs.  PCs in a local area network, compute
nodes in a single cluster, multiple clusters in wide area, comprise a
large-scale, high-performance shared network filesystem.  The Gfarm
filesystem solves performance and reliability problems in NFS and AFS
by means of multiple file replicas. It not only prevents performance
degradation due to access concentration, but also supports fault
tolerance and disaster recovery.

Older version has packaged for Debian in the past and .deb seemed
distributed once.  In fact, source code contains debian/ directory,
but it outdated completely.

Thus, I am packaging now, and push it into Debian.
