[DRBD-user] Debian package install instructions

Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


After further research, I found that /usr/src/drbd-8.3/debian/rules 
contained a configure script command that included '--prefix=/'
I edited this file and changed the option to '--prefix=/usr/' and rebuilt.
Everything is in its proper place, except for /var/lib/drbd which moved 
to /usr/var/lib/drbd due to the new prefix. This is not consistent with 
previous behavior.

I'll be testing additional changes to the rules file to try to fix this 
and let you know what I find.

If I can contribute to drbd, please let me know. I have spare servers 
online with the ability to remove/re-install drbd as needed.
