Hi Stephane,
Thank you for reporting bus and trying to make Ubuntu Server better.
Starting from maverick, the drbd-source package was dropped due to the
reason you are mentioning above (the drbd kernel module is now in
mainline). Now, I believe that backporting new drbd-utils into lucid is
not an option because that would mean dropping the drbd-source, which
installs the kernel module with DKMS. In case someone installs the
backported drbd on a lucid kernel, then, they won't really have the DRBD
kernel and will make the package useless.
Now, maybe the best approach would be to provide PPA's with drbd8-utils
for those kernels in lucid.
For now I'm marking this bug as Opinion as I'd like to get further input
on this.
Thank you.
