This is a bit more of a grey area (pardon the pun) for VFS modules (given they build in-tree), but I do expect the followup bug of 'the VFS interface changed' shortly. Packaging VFS modules is similar to packaging ldb modules in complexity, sadly, and we never had a good out-of-tree build process for those.
