I've dug around the openfabrics website, and have unearthed better descriptions
for the libraries.

I suspect the answer will be "it depends"; some people will want the latest
available versions, and some will want the "stable" version to build 3rd party
apps against.

That would be a good start; it will at least stop anyone else from attempting a
3rd packaging attempt! FYI, I have (mostly lintian clean) packages for the rest
of OFED 1.4 , I just haven't ITPd them.
