Hi Kees,

I have to admit that I did not realized in the first run that the first 
patch was meant to be applied, and that it does not conflict with the
module build. I realized that by now and I am up to applying it. 

But:

I am thinking about making the include directory a sub-directory
of drbd which would lead to:


drbd/drbd_*.c
drbd/[include/]linux/drbd.h
drbd/[include/]linux/drbd_conf.h

* As far as I understand the woes of the packet maintainers, they would
  like to see all the sourced for building the modules in one tree.

* And a symlink in the root directory of the distribution tarball, so
  that people see the drbd_conf.h in the uppermost directory.

* Actually the [include/] part in the path is not necessary, so I
  am thinking about omitting it.

Lars, David, Philipp: Any oppinions on how the sources should be layed out,
  from the viewpoint of a package maintainer ?
